This week our Pharm D candidate, Melissa Bailey, was looking at how some patients actually can reverse their diabetes by losing weight. We have all told our patients this, but how many times could you actually identify which patients would actually succeed if they tried? Melissa was able to peruse through the DIRECT study and has teased out the information on how to best select patients for success.

This information makes a perfect lead-in to soon to be Dr. Kaytie A. Weierstahl’s review of the new SUSTAIN trial and how the use of semaglutide can cause weight loss in our patients, regardless of how much they weigh at initiation.
