First session at #ATTD2021. As a honeymooning T1D LADA who takes a GLP-1RA to help preserve my beta cells, I'm interested to see what's new with these "Great Little Peptides" #dedoc° @ATTDconf 
If you are unfamiliar with GLP-1RAs, get the cliff notes here: practicaldiabetic.com/2020/10/10/the… #dedoc° #ATTD2021
The talk is about the oral version of Semaglutide which was also discussed at the EASD2020 conference last year. Many may be familiar with the injectable form which is sold under the name Ozempic. #dedoc° #ATTD2021
The session is promoting the benefits of Semaglutide (Ozempic) over other similar drugs such as Sitagliptin. This research from the Pioneer study was the reason I asked my Endo about switching from Trulicity to Ozempic. #dedoc° #ATTD2021
They haven't shown the adverse events for the different doses of semaglutide but this was shown at EASD2020 last year and is attached here for anyone who is curious and also available, along with a lot of the other Pioneer results here practicaldiabetic.com/2020/10/10/the… #dedoc° #ATTD2021
One of the benefits they are talking about with Semaglutide is weight loss. I can testify to this. I've lost around 10kgs (22 pounds) on Ozempic (the injectable form of the medication) and seen benefit in terms of my HbA1c and insulin resistance. #dedoc° #ATTD2021
They're now talking about the common effect of nausea with Semaglutide. I get mild nausea the day after injecting Semaglutide similar to mild car sickness but find a small snack (like water crackers) addresses it quite quickly. #dedoc° #ATTD2021
Great quote from @estebanjodar "We don't treat diseases, we treat patients with diseases". Something all health care professionals need to remember ;) #dedoc° #ATTD2021
