    9%, which reduces the risk of hypoglycemia and has clear weight gains[6],[7],[8],[9],[10], which will bring easy control for patients Blood glucose management helps Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes reach high-quality blood glucose standards

    .



    "Insulin deglulam and liraglutide injection combine the dual advantages of the basal insulin deglulam and GLP-1RA liraglutide.
    The two complement each other and target the underlying pathophysiological mechanism of type 2 diabetes.
    The HbA1c compliance rate has reached a breakthrough of 89.
    9%, which is an innovative drug worth looking forward to,” said Professor Mu Yiming, director of the Endocrinology Department of the PLA General Hospital
    .
