    This was a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 38 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) who were started on either liraglutide or placebo for a minimum of 4 up to 12 weeks prior to coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG).

Studies that did not test the peptide alone10

In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Liraglutide.
