Medical illustration showing GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors working together to improve metabolism, weight loss, liver health, and blood glucose control in triple agonist diabetes therapy.

For decades, glucagon has been viewed as insulin’s opposite. While insulin lowers blood glucose, glucagon raises it by signaling the liver to release stored sugar into the bloodstream. Because of this, glucagon has traditionally been considered a hormone to suppress in people living with type 2 diabetes. However, modern research …

Many people think of liver function tests as a way to detect liver disease. However, researchers are discovering that routine liver enzymes may also reveal important clues about future metabolic health. Understanding liver enzymes diabetes risk is becoming increasingly important because these commonly ordered blood tests may help identify people …

Screening for fatty liver disease in patients with diabetes is no longer limited to identifying elevated liver enzymes or calculating a fibrosis score during an annual visit. Instead, clinicians are entering an era where diabetes care and hepatology increasingly overlap, especially as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, becomes …
