These fibers slow down the digestion and absorption of nutrients, leading to a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream, which in turn stimulates the production of GLP-1
ORIGIN Trial Investigators, Gerstein HC, Bosch J et al (2012) Basal insulin and cardiovascular and other outcomes in dysglycemia
In response to ingested meals, GLP-1, an incretin hormone, stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppress glucagon, prolong gastric emptying, and promote glucose uptake into muscles and adipose tissues (3)
These strategies work alongside the body's natural metabolic design, helping reinforce the signals that regulate hunger and glucose balance
It is often preferred by patients who want a gentler physiologic shift or who experience difficulty tolerating the stronger gastrointestinal effects associated with higher-potency GLP-1 agents
