Where to inject The best injection sites for GLP-1 medications include the abdomen (at least two inches from the navel), the front of the thighs, and the back of the upper arms
Their experiences match what clinical studies show
Improved metabolic health: GLP-1 has been shown to improve metabolic health by reducing insulin resistance, decreasing inflammation, and improving lipid profiles
These results may have limited generalizability due to bias introduced by the studys design, including the treatment setting (ie, a neuroophthalmology clinic) and potential worse baseline health in patients taking semaglutide compared with matched controls
A recent study (7) found that people taking GLP-1 medications frequently fall short of recommended daily intakes for several essential nutrients, including fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, choline, and vitamins A, C, D, and E
