Diabetes drug may alter your taste buds and food desires

This study looked at how the diabetes medication Liraglutide (Victoza) affects taste, food cravings, and eating habits in people with type 2 diabetes who are overweight. Researchers compared three groups: patients starting Liraglutide, diabetic patients not on the drug, and healthy volunteers. They measured changes in wanting, liking, and salivation in response to food over several months. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
