Fathers day feast cooking has begun!

No insanely beautiful sunrises today but lush Midwest forests instead.

One week til this data gets presented at ADA 2025! **Association of Tirzepatide with Kidney Parameters in People with Obesity and Prediabetes from SURMOUNT-1 over 176 Weeks** At 72 weeks in this same group there was an increase in Cystatin-C GFR by 3 points vs placebo... tantalizing... #NephSky

Reasons why I don't like apple products but my job requires one: Apple says my 13 digit long password that uses words from a language only spoken by about 200K people worldwide isn't secure enough?!

Part 2 published! Last week was glucagon antagonists, this week, glucagon agonists. They're coming in 2026 and they're about to make Ozempic obsolete. Read on and find out why glucagon, once shunned by medicine is about to have its moment in the spotlight

Good morning from the Great Lakes.

This may end up as a long form post, but I have a hypothesis as to why glucagon agonist work so well for weight loss and potentially the mechanism for increased energy expenditure. Futile cycling of substrates. Specifically lipids(and to a lesser extent glucose) Here's my rationale, in a short🧵

With the American Diabetes Association Scientific conference right around the corner, expect to hear A LOT of news surrounding Amylin agonists. They may be another effective method for weight loss independently of GLP-1

Mazdutide, via its dual GLP-1/GCGR activation effects, exerts multifactorial neuroprotective-related improvements in cognitive function in male db/db mice id.elsevier.com/as/authoriza...

Apparently I'm the 1% that tries to screen a UACR on my chronic hypertension patients once a year and absolutely for a new diagnosis of HTN. Yikes. We need to do a lot better

New over 22 weeks dapagliflozin, as an adjunct to insulin, in youth with #T1D reduced measured eGFR (mGFR) improved glycemic control and was safe when combined with ketone testing and risk mitigation strategies @uhnresearch.ca @naturemedicine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
