In this debut episode of our multipart series, on our way to discussing GLP-1 drugs, we take you on a journey through the discovery and early uses of insulin, one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in the treatment of diabetes. We’ll discuss how insulin is produced, the role it plays in managing diabetes, and how its use has progressed over the years.
As we move through the history, we also begin to explore the emerging role of GLP-1 drugs, which have changed the landscape of diabetes and obesity treatment. Additionally, we touch on the importance of exercise as a critical factor in managing diabetes.
This episode sets the stage for the in-depth discussions to follow, including topics on diabetes care, medication advances, and lifestyle interventions to improve health outcomes.
