All about Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro - What people with diabetes (including type 1) need to know

Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are getting a lot of attention. What are they? How can they help people with type 1 and type 2? Should you think about taking one? After all, the weight loss component alone sounds amazing. This week, Stacey talks with Dr. Steve Edelman, who lives with type 1 and heads up Take Control of Your Diabetes – TCOYD – a not-for-profit organization with the goal of teaching and motivating patients in diabetes self-care. We go through the science behind these medications, who might think about taking them, and whether they live up to the hype. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
