Chronic Weight Management, Diabetes, and Associated Diseases

If you're here, you've probably been trying to manage your weight and all the potential health conditions that come with it for a long time—such as:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease (also called heart disease)
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
We see the need, and we're working hard to find new solutions. Right now, researchers are studying new, investigational (not yet approved) approaches to manage excess weight, diabetes, and associated diseases.

Could this be an option for you?

About Weight, Diabetes, and Associated Diseases

There’s no denying it—weight is a complex topic. It may be even more complex for those who have excess weight and other health problems.

That’s because excess weight can impact other areas of health. For example, excess weight increases the risk of having cardiovascular disease (also called heart disease), obstructive sleep apnea, knee osteoarthritis, and type 2 diabetes.1

Learn more about each of these conditions below.
The terms used for one’s excess weight are based on one’s body mass index (BMI). It is a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
Overweight =
BMI GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO kg/m²
TO LESS THAN kg/m²
Obesity =
BMI GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO kg/m²
The prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) alone is expected to rise from 14% to 24% of the population—affecting nearly 2 billion adults, children, and adolescents worldwide by 2035.2

But just as excess weight can impact other chronic health issues, we can impact the future of weight management through clinical research. Doctors and researchers are trying to find medicines to help people living with excess weight, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health issues.
