The study found increased risk in both patients with type 2 diabetes and patients using semaglutide for overweight or obesity, but the authors noted that the study was observational and could not prove that semaglutide directly caused NAION
This, in turn, boosts metabolic rate and activates a gene known as sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), also referred to as the "longevity gene." SIRT1 is involved in reducing the risk of various conditions such as diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver disease, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
As an industry, we must overhaul our approach to care and reimbursement by establishing a comprehensive ecosystem designed for medications like GLP-1s that prevents high costs, lack of access and fragmented outcomes
