GLP-1 receptor agonists including semaglutide have been shown to offer benefits for glycemic control, weight loss and cardiovascular protection in type 2 diabetes. But where a patient requires more glycemic control, would a higher dose be of help? The SUSTAIN FORTE trial was a randomized, double-blind, phase 3B trial that aimed to establish whether a higher dose of semaglutide was superior to the highest approved maintenance dose for glycemic control. Join Dr Juan Pablo Frias for a summary...
