In addition to the type of food a person consumes, the way the food interacts with

Pauline Anderson December 10, 2025 Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA), was associated with a significantly lower risk for adult-onset epilepsy in patients with diabetes than other glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs). Notably, this risk reduction appeared largely independent of improvements in glycemic control or weight. Approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity management, semaglutide has shown neuroprotective effects in stroke and dementia, but these new findings
