Transformative weight loss with Dulaglutide: A case report of success in a challenging patient profile of an ex‐sumo wrestler.

Key Clinical Message: Dulaglutide is a relatively unpopular GLP‐1 receptor agonist used for weight loss. This case demonstrates that dulaglutide may be beneficial for weight loss in morbidly obese patients with multiple comorbidities after thoroughly evaluating its efficacy, benefits, and long‐term adverse effects through clinical trials. We present a case of a 27‐year‐old ex‐sumo wrestler with bipolar II disorder, morbid obesity, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 49.66 kg/m2. He was non‐compliant with lifestyle modifications and resistant to conventional treatments, including metformin, and was also using multiple antipsychotic drugs. After introducing dulaglutide, he achieved a 40 kg (−21%) weight loss and a BMI reduction of 10.3 kg/m2 over 6 months, with no side effects and improved glycemic control, demonstrating dulaglutide's efficacy for weight loss in such challenging presentations.
