In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman go head-to-head in a friendly face-off between two of the most talked-about medications in diabetes and weight management: Ozempic and Mounjaro. Both are part of the powerful GLP-1 class, but which one might be better for you? From A1C reduction and weight loss to heart and kidney protection, ease of use, side effects, and insurance coverage—Drs. E & P walk you through a category-by-category comparison.
