While weight loss injections can be effective for many, they may not be suitable for everyone
Importantly, tirzepatide may influence fat distribution, particularly by reducing visceral and cervical adiposity, which are closely associated with upper airway obstruction in OSAS
For example, high-fibre foods, balanced protein intake, regular exercise, adequate sleep, hydration, and limiting refined sugars may help enhance metabolic balance, though they do not replace medical treatment 23 , 24
In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, tirzepatide produced average weight reductions of 15.0%, 19.5%, and 20.9% at studied doses compared with 3.1% with placebo over 72 weeks
Given that these factors are associated with -cell functional capacity, T2DM might be more easily reversed in patients with shorter duration of disease, younger age and better glycaemic control
