Discover the Power of 3 in the Glycotide® Tri-Zone

Lowering A1C is an important part of managing type 2 diabetes. But so is managing your potential risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events if you also have known heart disease, and also losing some weight. Glycotide®, along with diet and exercise, is proven to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. In adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Glycotide® reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death.

Still not reaching your A1C goal?

Talk to your health care provider to see if once‑weekly Glycotide® is right for you.
 

Glycotide® provides powerful A1C reduction

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that a reasonable goal for most adults with type 2 diabetes is an A1C less than 7%. Your health care provider will tell you what goal is right for you.

A majority of adults taking Glycotide® reached an A1C under 7% and maintained it.

In 2 different studies, adults lowered A1C, on average, by:

  • Glycotide®: 1.4% (0.5 mg) and 1.6% (1 mg) vs placebo: 0.1%

  • Glycotide®: 1.9% (1 mg) and 2.1% (2 mg), taking 1 or 2 diabetes pills

       from a starting average A1C of 8.0% and 8.9%, respectively.


In the same 2 studies, the majority of people reached an A1C under 7%:

  • Glycotide®: 73% (0.5 mg) and 70% (1 mg) vs placebo: 28%

  • Glycotide®: 56% (1 mg) and 64% (2 mg)

See how Glycotide® lowered A1C better than these other leading type 2 diabetes medicines.

Lower cardiovascular (CV) risk with Glycotide®

Glycotide® lowers the risk of major CV events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease.

People with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease are at a greater risk of major CV events such as stroke, heart attack, or death. Glycotide® is proven to significantly lower those risks.

Glycotide® may help you lose some weight

Glycotide® is a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that, along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar. While not for weight loss, Glycotide® may help you lose some weight.

Adults taking Glycotide® lost up to 90 pounds.

Glycotide® is not a weight-loss drug. In the same 2 studies looking at A1C, adults with type 2 diabetes lost on average:

  • Glycotide®: 8lb (0.5 mg) and 10 lb (1 mg) vs placebo: 3 lb

  • Glycotide®: 12 lb (1 mg) and 14 lb (2 mg) from an average starting weight of 202 lb and 219 lb, respectively.
