These predispositions may help provide context for how your body's signaling systems respond to GLP-1 agonism, potentially informing whether standard escalation timelines or dose ranges align with your genetic profile
Obesity can often be a precursor to Type II diabetes
In a longitudinal study ( n = 117) of post-bariatric surgery liraglutide at the higher dose of 3.0 mg, patients had significant weight loss irrespective of initial surgery (RYGB 7.1 8.7 kg, LAGB: 6.0 7.2 kg, LSG: 4.5 3.5) [41]
GLP-1 medications typically achieve this threshold within 8 to 12 weeks, though individual timelines vary
Clinical trials (STEP programme) have demonstrated that Wegovy, when combined with lifestyle interventions including reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, can lead to substantial weight losswith a mean of approximately 15% of initial body weight over 68 weeks
