Zachary Bloomgarden, MD, Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai Hospital, presents the case of a 48-year-old woman with diabetes who is currently taking metformin and glimepiride but is experiencing weight gain. He discusses whether the patient’s treatment should be changed or if substitute should be added. Dr. Bloomgarden explains that there is a unmet need for diabetes patients to receive treatment options that do not cause hypoglycemia and weight gain while providing glycemic benefit.
