That dual approval reflects the compound mechanism of action, which treats weight and metabolic health as interconnected problems rather than separate issues
For controlled trials data, changes from the baseline were first measured and then mean differences [95% CI] between GLP-1-based therapy patients and controls were calculated for each study and then overall effect size of the meta-analysis was generated

Typical monitoring schedule includes: Baseline assessments: HbA1c, fasting glucose, renal function, liver function, lipid profile, blood pressure, weight, and BMI 3-month review: Assessment of tolerability, weight change, HbA1c (for diabetes), blood pressure, and any adverse effects 6-month review: Comprehensive reassessment including blood tests, weight trajectory, treatment goals achievement, and decision regarding continuation Ongoing reviews: Every 36 months once stable, with annual comprehensive assessments NICE guidance recommends that GLP-1 therapy for diabetes should be continued only if beneficial responses are demonstratedtypically defined as HbA1c reduction of at least 11 mmol/mol (1.0%) and weight loss of at least 3% of initial body weight at 6 months
