In light of these findings, we postulated that long-term fluctuating glycemia, especially after extra carbohydrate intake, continuously and waveringly generates extra ROS, which in turn damages the pancreatic -cells

For compounded semaglutide specifically, treatment duration considerations are similar, but access and cost dynamics differ
