Abstract

Tirzepatide could control postprandial hyperglycemia even in cases with diminished β-cell function. This finding gives new insight into the treatment of older patients with diabetes. However, tilzepatide does not replace basal insulin in cases with diminished β-cell function and requires careful observation for sarcopenia.
