This Morning's Dr Sara Kayat explained how a reformed diabetes drug can help people lose weight.
Holly and Phil returned to the This Morning studio following a presenter shake-up in honour of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Health expert Dr Sara Kayat joined today's show to discuss a drug that was previously intended to help with diabetes now being tested to prevent obesity.
Dr Kayat said: "This is a drug that used to be used as a Type 2 diabetic medication, Tirzepatide. It was found in a study with 2,500 people who were overweight or obese who didn't have Type 2 diabetes, they found those with the highest dose lost on average around three stone and in general 57% of participants lost 20% of their body weight."
