Setting: 42 research centers in the USA.
Participants: Adults with type 2 diabetes, aged 18-75, who are either managing their diabetes with diet and exercise or a stable dose of the drug metformin.
Duration: 36 weeks.

🔥 Hot Findings:

Blood Sugar Levels: After 24 weeks, almost all dosages of retatrutide lowered blood sugar levels more than a placebo. The higher the dose, the better the results!
Weight Loss Win: By week 36, those on retatrutide lost weight! And we’re not talking just a pound or two. Depending on the dose, some people shed nearly 17% of their body weight. 🏋️
