This is a great read; I commend the @theguardian.com for this thoughtful and sensitive piece on new weight loss medications, and why some people choose to keep taking them a secret. Really pleased that I was able to contribute my expertise to this work. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Thanks @ukaso.bsky.social for sharing our new findings from the GLoW trial! This will likely be of interest to many ASO members. Happy to provide further information and answer any questions in the comments or via direct message. 💬🗨️💡🙂
The results of the Glucose Lowering through Weight Management (GLoW) trial have recently been published in @diabetologiajnl.bsky.social.
The trial aimed to assess whether a new model of care would help reduce blood sugar and bodyweight compared to standard care.
