I told my friend: Neither option is inherently good or bad. Its more about what youre comfortable with
Because it targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon pathways, side effects and monitoring needs may be more complex than single-pathway medications
Thus, immunoneutralization with antibodies against GIP significantly inhibited oral-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion ( The interest now focussed on gut glucagon (36), was in effect a C-terminally extended form of glucagon
