Abstract

Tirzepatide treatment resulted in a significant decrease in median hemoglobin A1c from 7.3% at baseline to 5.8% at 6 months.

  • Mean body weight decreased from 87.7 kg at baseline to 79.6 kg at 6 months.
  • The relative score of eating behaviors improved from 57.0 at baseline to 45.9 at 6 months.
  • In the group naive to GLP-1 receptor agonists, HbA1c and body weight decreased steadily over 6 months.
  • In the group previously treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, reductions in HbA1c and body weight were most notable in the first 3 months.
  • Changes in eating behavior scores did not significantly correlate with changes in glycemic control or body weight.
