Frequently Asked Questions
What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 interacts with the GLP-1 receptors found in the pancreas; it has the effect of stimulating the secretion of insulin while at the same time inhibiting the secretion of glucagon. This in turn, helps to promote glucose homeostasis, which is all about maintaining stable blood sugar levels in the body. And as your body achieves this balance, it shifts into a mode where it utilizes stored fat as an energy source.
What side effects are associated with GLP-1 injections?
Like any medication, there can be potential side effects. Some common side effects of GLP-1 receptor activation include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Some people may also experience headaches, dizziness, or fatigue. It's important to talk to your doctor if you experience any side effects or have concerns.
Who is eligible for GLP-1 injections?
GLP-1 injections are available to individuals living in the United States who are not pregnant or currently breastfeeding, individuals that do not have an active substance abuse problem, an active eating disorder, cancer, recent bariatric surgery (within the past 24 months), active gallbladder disease, a history of pancreatitis in the past 12 months, or a history of medullary thyroid cancer (MEN II syndrome).
