Summary

A new study links GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to serious eye conditions, including nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which can lead to blindness.

Researchers reviewed nine cases where patients developed vision problems after starting semaglutide or similar medications.

While the study does not prove causation, scientists suspect the drugs may contribute to these issues by rapidly lowering blood sugar or affecting optic nerve cells.

Experts call for more research and suggest that adjusting dosage rates might help mitigate potential risks for high-risk patients.

Pretty sure T2D is reversible with diet and exercise. It's not like T1D. It absolutely is brought on by obesity.

It's pretty well known at this point that if you have T1D your in the "need meds" camp. If you have T2D you're in the "lose weight" camp. There's tons of research on this and a ton of people who lose the weight and the T2D goes with it.
