New Diabetes Drugs Double Pancreatitis Risk

This just in: a study has found that a brand new class of diabetes medications doubles a person’s risk of pancreatitis, leading to hospitalization.

GLP-1 is the class of drugs we’re talking about and it’s used to control blood sugar levels. But, according to scientists, these drugs help form lesions in the pancreas and promote inflammation throughout the organ. You’ve seen them as the brand names “Januvia” and “Byetta.”
