A GLP-1 agonist is a type of medication that mimics the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone in the body. GLP-1 is involved in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. These medications are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, as they help to lower blood sugar by: 1. Stimulating insulin secretion: They enhance the release of insulin from the pancreas in response to meals. 2. Inhibiting glucagon release: They reduce the amount of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. 3. Slowing gastric emptying: This leads to a more gradual absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. 4. Reducing appetite: They can help with weight loss by making you feel fuller for longer.
