What are Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs)?
GLP-1 RAs are medications that have been approved for managing blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. These medications work by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion, slows digestion, and suppresses appetite. In addition to their blood sugar management benefits, GLP-1 RAs have become increasingly popular due to their ability to promote weight loss.
How are GLP-1 RAs administered?
GLP-1 RAs are usually administered by injection under the skin. They can be self-administered using a pen device or a syringe, and are typically taken once a week.
What are the benefits of GLP-1 RAs?
GLP-1 RAs have been shown to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, promoting weight loss, and improving overall glycemic control.
Who can benefit from GLP-1 RAs?
GLP-1 RAs are generally recommended for people with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved optimal blood sugar control with other medications. They may be particularly beneficial for people who are overweight or obese, as they can help with weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity. However, GLP-1 RAs are not recommended for people type 1 diabetes, or those with a history of pancreatitis.
What are contraindications for GLP-1 RAs?
Contraindications for GLP-1 RAs are medical conditions or situations that make the use of these medications unsafe or not recommended. They include type 1 diabetes, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, severe gastrointestinal disease, pancreatitis, and pregnancy/breastfeeding.
How can I stay motivated to lose weight?
Setting achievable goals, tracking progress, and rewarding yourself along the way can help you stay motivated. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community or seeking the help of a professional, such as a registered dietitian or personal trainer, can also be helpful.
