At Apt Urgent Care, we are committed to providing patient-centered healthcare and helping our patients manage their health conditions. This includes patients with type 2 diabetes and those who are working towards achieving their weight loss goals. One of the treatment options we may discuss with these patients includes the use of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. This class of medications, in addition to managing blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, can also promote weight loss by imitating the action of the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels, slow digestion, and suppress appetite, thus increasing feelings of fullness. Among the GLP-1 receptor agonists, semaglutide is currently considered the most effective for weight loss. However, other medications such as liraglutide have also demonstrated significant efficacy for weight loss. At Apt Urgent Care, we meticulously review each patient's health status, lifestyle, and preferences before recommending any medication. We provide comprehensive counseling on how these medications work, their potential side effects, and the lifestyle modifications needed to enhance their effectiveness. We believe in individualizing treatment plans based on each patient's unique needs and health goals. While GLP-1 receptor agonists show promising results, it's important to remember that they are not standalone solutions for weight loss. They should be used alongside the incorporation of a healthy diet and regular exercise.
