GLP-1 - PART 3: THE "GOOD" AND THE "BAD"

They work by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon production, slowing stomach emptying, and promoting a feeling of fullness. Commonly used for type 2 diabetes and weight management, GLP-1 agonists improve blood glucose control while supporting weight loss. Examples include semaglutide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide, administered by inject

DIABETES - PART 2: HbA1C
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly produce or use insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.

Managing diet, exercise, and medication helps control b
