Ever wonder about medicines like Trulicity, Ozempic, or Victoza? These diabetes medications all work in a similar way in the management of Type 2 Diabetes and improving A1c. In this video, I discuss the natural role of GLP-1 in managing blood glucose, how these medications fit into that role, what the benefits are, and what the side effects are.
A couple corrections to the video:
At 1:52, I misspoke and said "glycogen" instead of "glucagon"
At 2:33, I accidentally said "insulin" instead of "intestine".
Sorry about any confusion.
As promised in the video, here are links to relevant studies on the cardiovascular safety/potential benefits of these medications:
