@miffyhelen I'm type 2 diabetic AND an inpatient pharmacist. Ever since I started taking #incretin drugs — first #Bydureon (#exenatide), then #Ozempic (#semaglutide), and most recently #Mounjaro (#tirzepatide) — it has transformed my experience of exercise. Before, I never understood how anyone could enjoy exercise. I suspect another diabetes drug of a different class, good old #metformin, is helping too. #Mounjaro, especially, has made a world of difference. If you're not diabetic, #tirzepatide is also available as a weight-loss drug under a different name (#Zepbound). And another #incretin drug, not approved yet, is on the horizon: #retatrutide. From everything I've read about it, it should be the best of all.
