Improved Insulin Sensitivity: By enhancing insulin secretion and sensitivity, GLP-1 medications help regulate blood sugar levels, reducing insulin resistance (the body becomes more responsive to insulin because it is not constantly saturated with levels of it) Considerations and Potential Side Effects of GLP-1 Medication While GLP-1 medications offer substantial benefits, they are not without their own potential problems Gastrointestinal Issues: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, also often improved by compounding with B12 or B6 Cost and Accessibility: GLP-1 medications can be expensive, its important to work with a provider who has access to quality GENERIC compounded medications which drives down the cost significantly
Current Research and Trials Many studies are going on to see if GLP-1 is safe and works well for type 1 diabetes
GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms are associated with increased bladder cancer risk: evidence from updated meta-analysis
Lipo B adds minimal risk beyond mild injection site soreness or rare allergic reactions to B-vitamin components
(Notably, tirzepatide in diabetics also lowers HbA1c, and even though the OSA trial excluded diabetics, the drugs metabolic effects would likely benefit prediabetic OSA patients by improving glycemic control.) This multifaceted impact can be viewed as a holistic approach to a cardiometabolic syndrome, where OSA is one piece of the puzzle
