GLP-1 drugs assist in rapid weight loss, benefiting people with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure. While they improve blood sugar control and short-term cardiorenal function, they do not significantly enhance heart and lung function. Loss of fat-free mass, particularly muscle, poses serious risks, including increased cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Experts recommend incorporating exercise programs or nutrition supplements to supplement the effects of GLP-1 drugs, ensuring patients receive comprehensive health benefits and mitigate risks of diminished muscle mass.
Weight loss associated with GLP-1 drugs has many clear health benefits for people with obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart failure, including improving blood-sugar control and short-term cardiorenal benefits.
Some patients literally told me that they felt that they were losing muscle or muscle was slipping away from them while they were on these medications. This is a serious concern.
