Future research is needed to identify the social, environmental, structural, and other factors that influence access to GLP-1s and supportive nutrition-focused lifestyle programs
Key supplements for anyone on GLP-1 therapy include a high-quality multivitamin, vitamin B12 (especially important since some compounded formulations include B12 for this reason), vitamin D, and a fiber supplement if constipation is an issue
For example, adding a whole avocado to a meal has been shown to increase levels of GLP-1 and PYY, as well as insulin secretion, more than the same meal without the avocado
People with type 2 diabetes need improved blood sugar control, especially those who could benefit from weight loss or cardiovascular risk reduction
Compounded GLP-1 injections are fulfilled and shipped from Hims & Hers affiliated pharmacies
Normally, patients fast before surgery to reduce this risk, but GLP-1 medications can cause food to remain in the stomach longer than expected, increasing the chance of aspiration even after fasting
