Your GLP-1 Options

How do GLP-1s work? What are GLP-1s? GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs that help treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They mimic a natural hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays an important role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. GLP-1 medications work by helping your body release insulin when blood sugar is high, slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach. They also act on the brain to increase feelings of fullness and decrease hunger.
