You might have heard that the American Diabetes Association (which we should mention gets a good portion of its funding from pharmaceutical companies, including Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk) issued a [statement](https://a4pc.org/files/2024-12_ADA-Statement-Compounded-GLP1s.pdf?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8fgiVy7bb9I_m6vbgQ0GD2heHBcU9LtvgISUkoDjo7cjUbMsONPFM5KM_q3FtichdjIQlA) recommending against compounded GLP-1 drugs.
