Tirzepatide Shows Promise in Diabetes Prevention and Weight Loss

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Futurism

A study published in the New England Medical Journal reveals that tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Eli Lilly's Mounjaro, significantly reduces the risk of developing diabetes by 94% in high-risk individuals. Conducted over three years with over 2500 pre-diabetic participants, the trial showed that only 1.3% of those taking tirzepatide developed diabetes compared to 13.3% in the placebo group. The drug, which mimics the body's feeling of fullness, also led to substantial weight loss and maintained blood sugar control, suggesting long-term protective benefits against diabetes.

"Speed Up Your Walk to Cut Type 2 Diabetes Risk, Doctors Advise"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Mirror

A recent study involving participants from the UK, Japan, and the US has shown that walking faster can significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Walking at speeds greater than 1.86mph can lower the risk, with the fastest walkers (above 3.7mph) reducing their risk by 39%. Even a slow stroll offers a 15% lower risk. The study highlights the importance of physical activity intensity, with faster walking leading to better cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and weight management, all contributing to improved insulin sensitivity. Diabetes UK has endorsed the findings, emphasizing the health benefits of increased physical activity intensity.
