Retatrutide vs Tirzepatide: Which Actually Works Better For T2D?  @thee_rmz
Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
New Phase 3 data just published in The Lancet — retatrutide (Eli Lilly's triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonist) showed remarkable results for type 2 diabetes in the TRANSCEND-T2D-1 trial, including nearly 17% body weight loss (36.6 lbs) at just 40 weeks, with no plateau in sight. In this video I break down exactly what the trial found, how it compares to tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in the SURPASS-1 trial, and what the ADA's 2026 Standards of Care update means for the future of T2D treatment.

A few weeks ago I covered the TRIUMPH-1 obesity trial results for retatrutide — link below. Today we're going deeper on the TYPE 2 DIABETES side of the story.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
• What makes retatrutide different — the triple mechanism (GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon) explained simply
• TRANSCEND-T2D-1 trial design and who was studied
• A1C reduction results vs tirzepatide (SURPASS-1) — side by side
• Weight loss results — why retatrutide outperformed tirzepatide by ~75% at 40 weeks
• Cardiometabolic benefits: triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure
• Side effects and discontinuation rates
• What comes next — TRANSCEND-T2D-4 (vs semaglutide), FDA approval outlook
