What is a GLP-1?
These medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. They target the parts of the brain that regulate appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone.
How does it work?
GLP-1 medications work to:
-
Suppress Appetite
-
Manage Blood Sugar
-
Control Blood Sugar Spikes
-
Reduce Cravings
When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, they may help patients lose weight.
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?
Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medication. GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gut as a response to eating. One effect that GLP-1s have is to tell the body when to produce more insulin, which is the hormone that reduces blood sugar. In larger amounts, GLP-1s can send a signal to the brain that the body is full, helping to reduce appetite.
GLP-1 medications have taken the world by storm for their reported ability to help manage blood sugar and support weight loss. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are the most frequently prescribed.
The expense and relative scarcity of the GLP-1s in recent months has left many people unable to begin or continue therapy uninterrupted. These patients could benefit greatly from the potential of these medications to reduce A1C and weight.
