Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025

Special Article Collection: New and Future Drugs for Treatment Of Obesity
With the advent of newer, more effective therapies, interest is growing in the clinical management of obesity. A new Diabetes Spectrum From Research to Practice section reviews the rapidly changing landscape of obesity medicine, with a focus on the expanding armamentarium of pharmacotherapies. Articles in this timely collection review first-generation medications that still play an important role, game-changing second-generation drugs from the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist class, and the use of obesity drugs in the pediatric population. To access the special collection, as well as the full issue, visit diabetesjournals.org/spectrum.
Article Highlights: Compounded Incretin Products
A recently published ADA statement discusses the use of compounded GLP-1 RA (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist) and dual GIP/GLP-1 RA (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptor agonist) medication classes. The statement recommends against using compounded GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 RA products that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, due to uncertainty about their content, safety, quality, and effectiveness. The statement can be accessed at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0091.
