How Does GLP-1 Therapy Work?


GLP-1 medication is a groundbreaking therapy that functions as a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the actions of both incretin hormones, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta cells, thereby regulating blood glucose levels. Furthermore, it slows down gastric emptying and suppresses appetite, contributing to weight loss, a significant benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes. Thus, this promising therapy addresses both hyperglycemia and obesity, typical in many diabetics

The specific dosages vary, and it is important for individuals to adhere strictly to Dr. Tolman's prescribed instructions for optimal and safe results.

Foods to Avoid:

Minimize Stomach Upset

To ensure a smoother experience while taking this medication, it's crucial to avoid certain food groups that may lead to stomach discomfort. These include stringy fruits and vegetables like pineapple and celery, gas-forming vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower, dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and foods high in added sugars. Additionally, fried foods and alcohol should be limited, as they can exacerbate side effects and impact blood sugar levels.

Stay Informed

Understanding Dietary Restrictions

Being aware of what to avoid can significantly enhance your treatment experience. Aim to keep your sugar intake below 30g per day, and limit alcohol consumption to one drink per day for women and two for men. This proactive approach can help maintain stable blood sugar levels and support your overall health journey.
