Do those GLP-1 meds work for weight loss even if you don’t have diabetes? Just wondering if they would be an option for me. Thanks!

GLP-1 medications mimic the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and slows down digestion. By delaying gastric emptying and reducing hunger signals in the brain, these medications help people feel full longer, leading to reduced calorie intake.
While they were originally developed for people with type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications have proven highly effective for weight loss, even in people who are not diabetic. Clinical trials show that non-diabetic individuals can experience significant weight loss, often 10-15% of their body weight. This makes GLP-1 medications a powerful option for those struggling with obesity or weight management.
Remember, it's always important to check with your healthcare provider to see if they're a good option for you. Hope that helps! Be well.
