How does Tirzepatide or
Semaglutide work?
GLP-1 medications act by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin when needed while also decreasing the secretion of glucagon—a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. This dual action helps regulate blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, GLP-1 medications slow down the digestive process, which allows you to feel full longer and reduce overall calorie intake.
These effects make GLP-1 medications, such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide, an excellent option not only for diabetes management but also for effective weight loss.
