With more studies emerging, GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 medications have become well-established options for those with obesity or type 2 diabetes.

A new study led by Ananda Basu, M.D., used novel non-radioactive, stable glucagon tracers for the first time to characterize glucagon metabolism in humans with and without Type 1 diabetes, providing ...
