Question 1

What are GLP-1 agonists?

Accepted Answer

GLP‑1 agonists are a type of medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP‑1, which is released after eating.

This hormone helps:

Lower blood sugar
Slow down stomach emptying (helps you feel full longer)
Reduce appetite, making it easier to lose weight

By copying these effects, GLP‑1 agonists improve blood‑sugar control and support weight loss.

Examples: Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) | Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

Question 2

Who can take it GLP-1 agonists?

Accepted Answer

1. Type 2 Diabetes

Adults who need an add‑on to diet + exercise when other medicines aren't controlling blood sugar

2. Obesity / Over‑weight

BMI ≥ 27 kg/m² plus at least one weight‑related issue:
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, fatty liver, pre‑diabetes, etc.

Question 3

How long does it take to see result?

Accepted Answer

Medium‑Term (3–6 months)

5–10 % body‑weight loss

Long‑Term (6–12 months +)

Consistency with healthy eating and movement is key
