Abstract

TSH testing patterns did not differ between GLP-1 RAs and SGLT-2is, despite the greater likelihood of requiring levothyroxine dose adjustment associated with weight loss seen with GLP-1 RAs therapy. Given levothyroxine's widespread use, this gap suggests missed opportunities for timely and weight-responsive thyroid monitoring.
