Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic the action of a naturally occurring hormone in your body
Most physicians will order a complete blood count (CBC), a metabolic panel (CMP), lipid panel, HbA1c, and TSH before starting
These medications work by mimicking the action of the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone, which stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying

And these extra pounds are leading to a wide range of health issues, from diabetes to cardiovascular disease
