Questions about Type 2 Diabetes
Do GLP-1RAs help improve walking distance for those with diabetes and Peripheral Artery Disease?
Yes, GLP-1 receptor agonists (liraglutide, semaglutide) improve walking distance in people with type 2 diabetes and peripheral artery disease, based on a 2025 meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Full answer →What common genes link Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and type 2 diabetes according to recent studies?
