Dietary Challenges in T2D Miniseries (Part 5)

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed type 2 diabetes management, delivering substantial weight loss and cardiovascular benefits.

But with growing use comes an emerging concern: accelerated muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies in some patients.

In this expert discussion we explore the evidence, outline at-risk groups, and share practical strategies, including the role of DSNFs, to help GPs protect muscle health, optimise nutrition, and maintain patient function while on GLP-1 therapy.
