"The GLP-1 hormone is a hormone that is made in your small intestine that triggers the body to release insulin when you eat, prevents your blood sugar from dropping dangerously low, slows digestion, and reduces your appetite. This hormone is essential for a number of reasons but one of the most important is its insulin release and regulation. Insulin is another natural hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar and helps convert the food you eat into energy."
"This is why it is used to help those with type 2 diabetes, because they have trouble releasing regular amounts of insulin. As well as monitoring your blood sugar levels, GLP-1 also slows down the movement and function of your intestines, so you digest your food slower. Slowing down digestion also inhibits your appetite, so you are less hungry and are overall consume less food."
GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin release after eating, prevents dangerously low blood sugar, slows digestion, and reduces appetite. Insulin regulates blood sugar and converts food into energy, and impaired insulin release underlies type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 medications mimic the hormone’s actions to regulate insulin and blood sugar, and they also lengthen digestion and decrease hunger. These medications are commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes and are approved for obesity. Recent public attention has grown because GLP-1 medications can cause significant weight loss and are often marketed for that effect.
