Dr. Silvio Inzucchi on Type 2 Diabetes & Ozempic

In this episode we speak with Dr. Silvio Inzucchi about Type 2 diabetes and medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy that are now being used for weight loss. Dr. Inzucchi is a Professor of Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine, where he also serves as the Clinical Chief of the Section of Endocrinology, the Medical Director of the Yale Diabetes Center, and the Program Director of the Endocrinology & Metabolism Fellowship. We start the conversation with an overview of Type 2 diabetes, shedding light on its diagnosis, factors leading to it, and the differences between Type 1 and Type 2. Our discussion then shifts to medications pivotal in its management, such as metformin and the increasingly recognized Ozempic, which is also being explored for weight loss.
