How do GLP-1 Medications Work?
GLP-1 medications work in a variety of ways:
- Increasing insulin production: GLP-1s help the body produce more insulin, which controls blood sugar levels.
- Reducing glucagon production: GLP-1s reduce the amount of sugar the liver produces.
- Slowing digestion: GLP-1s slow down digestion, which makes it take longer for the body to absorb sugar from food.
- Reducing appetite: GLP-1s increase feelings of fullness and reduce appetite.
All of these mechanisms result in GLP-1 medications helping to treat type 2 diabetes and can be extremely effective in helping patients lose weight.
