Studies have shown that postprandial levels of endogenous GLP-1 after bariatric surgery can be 10 to 20 times higher compared with before surgery. In a retrospective study, Gazda and colleagues analyzed data from 207 adults treated for weight regain after bariatric surgery at an academic center from January 2014 to November 2019
The safety profile was consistent with GLP-1 receptor agonists, primarily featuring transient, mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal adverse events (e.g., nausea, 55%), with low discontinuation rates (6-8.4%)
Sometimes doctors prescribe smaller amounts, but some GLP-1 users decide to microdose on their own
These trials are meticulously designed, randomized, placebo-controlled studies aimed at determine how antidiabetic medications influence cardiovascular outcomes, particularly in high-risk T2D patients (35)
