Out of stock: A brief clinical reference for rough equivalency of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) ± glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists for A1c and weight reduction in people with type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Highlights Despite the common practice of switching patients from one medicine to another—to improve efficacy, safety, or tolerability—guidance on how to do so is uncommon. During this time of global shortage of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) ± glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) RA therapies, this research letter offers a quick clinical reference of rough equivalency between GLP‐1 ± GIP RA for A1c and body weight reduction in people with type 2 diabetes.
