How GLP-1 Drugs Work

Let’s break down how GLP-1 agonists work 🧪🧬

GLP-1 agonists mimic a natural hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps to manage blood sugar levels by:
1️⃣ Producing more insulin when needed
2️⃣ Reducing glucagon
3️⃣ Slowing down digestion

These medications are FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with some being approved for obesity treatment.
