Enzo's Tip

This is the classic GLP-1 showdown! Ozempic wins on the numbers — more weight loss, better A1C reduction. But Trulicity has been around longer, has rock-solid cardiovascular data from the REWIND trial, and sometimes costs less with insurance. If you're starting fresh, most doctors lean toward Ozempic. If Trulicity is already working for you, that matters too. Enzo tracks both like a pro!
