Adding Subetta® (affinity-purified antibodies against the insulin receptor beta-subunit) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) to standard therapy significantly improves glycemic control, lipid profiles, and reduces body mass index in elderly women with type 2 diabetes compared to standard therapy alone.
For elderly women with Type 2 Diabetes who are struggling with weight gain and high blood sugar despite standard medication, adding Vitamin D (4000 IU daily after a loading phase) and Subetta® to their existing regimen (Metformin/Gliclazide) can significantly improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight loss without causing dangerous low blood sugar episodes.
The addition of Subetta® and cholecalciferol to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes contributed to the achievement of target indicators of carbohydrate metabolism, improved lipid profile, and weight loss.
Why this rating

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
