However, retatrutide may have superior benefits for insulin resistance and glycemic regulation , due to: Enhanced insulin sensitivity from GIP agonism Reduced hepatic glucose output from glucagon signaling modulation Improved beta-cell function Clinical Insight: Retatrutide reduced fasting glucose and A1C levels with similar or better efficacy than tirzepatide in early trials
Beyond their role in weight reduction, which itself can lessen mechanical friction and inflammation in intertriginous areas, GLP-1s improve insulin sensitivity, cardiometabolic risk factors, and may reduce systemic inflammationall of which can be more prevalent in HS patients
