You started taking a medicine that is supposed to help you lose weight, but the number on the scale is going up
GLP-1s helps regulate appetite and slows digestion to reduce calorie intake, while Advanced GLP-1s combine effects on multiple receptors to enhance weight loss and improve blood sugar control
They appear most strongly during the first 1-2 weeks after each dose increase, then gradually subside as your body adapts to the new level of receptor activation
Understanding the leptin induced suppression of GLP1 inputs to the hypothalamus during weight gain and/or in the obese state may provide an additional pathology of obesity and diabetes
Now, why GLP Ones become part of this conversation is because these medications have strong evidence for improving insulin sensitivity
If you discover youre pregnant while taking GLP-1 medication, stop taking the drug immediately, and contact your provider
