Genetic Variants May Reduce GLP-1 Diabetes Drug Effectiveness
A new Stanford Medicine study uncovers why GLP-1 receptor agonists may not work as well for some Type 2 diabetes patients: certain genetic variants lead to GLP-1 resistance. Carried by about 10% of the population, these variants result in higher but less effective GLP-1 levels. This could guide faster, personalized treatment switches.

Why Ozempic Doesn't Work for Everyone: Hidden Genetic Reason Found
Scientists have uncovered why Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs don't work for everyone: genetic variants in the PAM gene cause GLP-1 resistance in about 10% of people. Despite higher GLP-1 levels, these individuals show reduced drug effectiveness in lowering blood sugar. This breakthrough could pave the way for personalized treatment strategies.
