Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of switching from glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapy to tirzepatide glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) GLP-1 RA agonist in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of tirzepatide, had a baseline and had evaluable data for this outcome.
