Adding tirzepatide to basal insulin cuts HbA1c levels in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes

A team of medical researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. working with a colleague from Spain has found via clinical trial that adding tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) to basal insulin therapies can reduce HbA1c levels in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. In their paper published in the journal JAMA, the group describes the parameters of the clinical trial and what they learned from it.
