Wegovy aids weight loss by helping patients to control their cravings and regulate their food intake. It works by mimicking the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that naturally occurs in the body, which delays the stomach from emptying into the intestine (also known as gastric emptying). This helps you to feel fuller for longer and aids appetite regulation, especially after eating.   Wegovy also helps to stabilize your blood sugar levels which prevent the highs and lows affiliated with insulin spikes and crashes.
