Barry notes

potential worsening of diabetic retinopathy with semaglutide in patients with pre-existing retinopathy

The glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are the best-studied and most commonly used incretins

Many doctors will prescribe Semaglutide GLP-1 injections as part of a weight loss treatment plan that also includes a diet plan and exercise regimen that has been customized based on the needs, risks, and existing health conditions of the patient

Kapitza C, et al

Just as GLP-1 in the body naturally does, GLP-1 medications work by: Stimulating insulin secretion, which allows cells to take up sugar Inhibiting the release of glucagon , which helps lower blood sugar levels Slowing stomach emptying, which can help prevent a post-meal sugar spike , as sugar from food is released more slowly into the bloodstream Increase how full you feel after eating Along with blood sugar management, these medications are also beneficial for weight management and reducing the risk of heart and kidney problems
