F.D.A. Approves Weight-Loss Drug to Treat Sleep Apnea Zepbound is the first prescription drug approved specifically to treat the common condition.

Really excited about this #sleepapnea indication but need #insurance coverage to follow or approval will not reach those who need it #zepbound #weightloss www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/w...

So happy that Endocrine Society @endocrinesociety.bsky.social has joined #MedSky #EndoSky, cannot wait to be again like "old" times!

My patient brought her #puppy to her visit today. Great mood lift for the office!

Unfortunately far too many. Only good data for TSH suppression is situations with thyroid cancer at high risk for recurrence.

Very misleading. Levothyroxine does not cause #bone loss unless used at too high a dose #MedSky

Love from this guy is the best #medicine any day

Patient visit on #GLP1agonist:
Encouraged #Mediterraneandiet, ⬆️ protein, veggies, ⬇️carb 🥗🍣🎣

Patient: ‘Doc, if I were to do that I wouldn’t need these injections!’

Of course not full story in his lifelong struggle with weight, but key to focus on diet modifications as vital to treatment #MedSky

Giving #bone rounds at NYU tomorrow & instead of prepping, immersed in studying with my 6th grader - human cell vs plant cell. Brings me back 🧬
