Diabetes & Obesity centre of expertise
Next generation treatments for diabetes are now most viable when they combine efficacy at regulating blood sugar with cardiovascular protection and treatment for chronic kidney disease.
The bar is also rising for insulin treatments, as novel formulations promise less frequent dosing, and technological advances could eventually provide automatic dosing and blood glucose monitoring.
Meanwhile, obesity continues to be considered a lifestyle condition, creating major barriers for pharmaceutical treatments – yet newly launched and pipeline products with superior efficacy could change the treatment paradigm.
