New Hormone Injection Aids Weight Loss in Obese Patients

An injection has helped reduce body weight and glucose levels in patients with diabetes and obesity in four weeks. The findings came from a small study in which patients lost, on average, 4.4 kg, and the treatment led to substantial improvements to their blood glucose, with some patients reducing to near-normal levels. Obesity is a common problem in the UK and it is estimated that one in four adults is obese.
