Tirzepatide has a dual role of being a Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and a Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist and is effective for patients with type 2 diabetes and lowering body weight, fat mass, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), and insulin resistance in obese or overweight adults without type 2 diabetes.8 Furthermore, tirzepatide works on the same cytokine pathways involved in the pathogenesis of HT, such as IL-6 and Th17, among others, and suggests favorable results in decreasing the pathogenesis of HT, while decreasing insulin resistance and improving metabolic health.6 This case report is notable since it demonstrates the effective use of tirzepatide at low dose in an HT patient who had post-surgical worsening of insulin resistance and thyroid medication resistance that improved thyroid function and insulin resistance while decreasing thyroid antibodies
