“Tirzepatide has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. For the first time, we have a medication that not only controls glucose levels but also induces weight loss in those who are living with overweight or obesity. This is a major breakthrough in the fight against diabetes and obesity.”
Professor Miras has already begun to use this medication in two of his international private patients in the Middle East, and their progress has been extremely encouraging. He will be reporting on his experience with this cutting-edge treatment in the near future, which will be invaluable in helping to advance the field of diabetes and obesity treatment.
Given his expertise, experience and pioneering use of this new medication, Professor Miras is one of the few physicians in Europe to offer this medication and is certainly deserving of a clinician spotlight. He is an inspiration to other clinicians and a beacon for patients seeking the most advanced treatments available for diabetes and obesity.
“Obesity can no longer be considered a simple lifestyle condition. It is a complex, chronic, multifactorial disease with long-term health consequences. It requires a comprehensive, holistic, and innovative approach to address it effectively.”
