FAQ
GLP-1 Medication is an injectable medication which, when used in combination with diet and exercise, helps with blood sugar control in type 2 diabetics. GLP-1 Medication belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1 in your body to lower blood sugar levels after you’ve eaten a meal.
No, GLP-1 Medication is not a type of insulin or a substitute for insulin. GLP-1 Medication does stimulate your pancreas to release insulin when glucose (sugar) is present. Because GLP-1 Medication relies upon your body’s own insulin to have this effect, GLP-1 Medication isn’t used when your pancreas can’t make insulin, such as in patients in type 1 diabetes.
GLP-1 agonists like GLP-1 Medication help to control your blood sugar, but people taking them also tend to lose weight. GLP-1, the key hormone involved, slows down how fast your stomach empties food (called gastric emptying). And in addition to causing your pancreas to release insulin, GLP-1 Medication also blocks a hormone that causes your liver to release sugar (glucagon). Together, these functions can help you feel less hungry, causing you to eat less food and lose more weight.
With GLP-1 medications, you will slowly work your way up to the target dose at which time you will see the most amount of weight loss. This was the case in the clinical trials, where participants had their dose adjusted until they reached the maximum level once weekly.
It is important to keep in mind that weight loss can take time, and you’ll see the best results when you are using your medication in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. Sometimes the medication may not work for you, or you may not be able to tolerate the full dose due to side effects.

Yes. GLP-1 Medication is considered to be safe and effective when used as indicated. But safe doesn’t mean that there aren’t risks. GLP-1 Medication also carries a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors occurring in rodents (with unknown risk in humans), and GLP-1 Medication shouldn’t be used if you or your family have a history of certain thyroid cancers. GLP-1 Medicationshould not be used in people with type-1 diabetes or a history of pancreatitis. GLP-1 Medicationshould be used cautiously for people on other blood sugar lowering medications.
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that causes huge effects on the regulation of blood sugar by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Insulin is a hormone that promotes sugar uptake by the cells, stores sugar as glycogen, promotes the building of fat, and signals the body to build skeletal muscle. In addition, GLP-1 inhibits glucagon release (which slows down the release of sugar into the blood so that you burn more fat), slows down gastric emptying (makes you feel full), and lowers the desire for food intake (because you feel full).
Currently, we offer a variety of GLP-1 Medication with active ingredients that can help with blood sugar control, hunger, cravings and help you to lose weight. However, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, and the benefits and risks should be carefully evaluated on an individual basis. Additionally, a holistic approach to weight management, including diet and exercise, should be considered alongside medication when seeking sustainable weight loss. GLP-1 Medication is administered once a week by injection, which makes it more convenient than other diabetes medications that need to be taken several times a day.
No, GLP-1 Medication is not a stimulant. While other weight loss medications, like phentermine, have stimulating effects that help curb your appetite, GLP-1 Medication works differently (see above).
Yes, it is believed that GLP-1 Medication can help curb your appetite. In addition to slowing gastric emptying to make you feel full for longer, GLP-1 also plays a direct role in how your appetite is regulated.
