Hypoglycemia risk with concomitant sulfonylurea use — 6 month update

Congrats PharmacoVig_BOS!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉

Clinical perspective on Hypoglycemia risk with concomitant:

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

Yep. My endo said the same thing about Hypoglycemia risk.

Reading this thread on Hypoglycemia risk with hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 295 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 70 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Hypoglycemia risk — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
