      I think long term effects will dependent on the individual – such as those with pancreatic and thyroid issues.

      Google answer:
      Data from DURATION-1 demonstrated that continuous HbA1c reductions and weight loss were observed for the patients continuing on the treatment, with no unexpected adverse events. Taken together, these data support GLP-1RAs as a long-term noninsulin treatment option after the failure of oral therapy.

      We are responsible to monitor for changes in client status…regular DEP visits and bloodwork

      Mostly considered safe. GI adverse reactions are common but can be minimized with gradual dose titration and eating behavior modification. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation followed by dose adjustments with the patient’s consent based on the patient’s health status would be the clinician’s responsibility.
      They are contraindicated in patients with a family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma and/or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, renal impairment,

      depending on comorbidities, outcomes may be different for each person. This class is still fairly new.
