But has it had long-term studies as a weight-loss drug instead of a diabetes treatment? The results might be different.



it might be, but the question is if there's some long term bad effect, like it causes brain bleeds if you take it for 20 years or something. I don't think patients taking it for weight-loss instead of diabetes changes the underlying biological processes that happens as a result of taking the medication, so long term studies based on diabetes patients is useful information for non-diabetes patients.
