If you have type 2 diabetes and struggle with:
High A1C
After-meal spikes
Weight gain
Hunger or cravings
Inconsistent blood sugar levels
A GLP-1 RA may be helpful to you!
GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) work with your body’s natural hormones to help keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day. They’re not insulin, instead, they help your body use the insulin it already makes in a safer, more controlled way.
Lower Blood Sugar After Meals
GLP-1RAs help your pancreas release just the right amount of insulin when you eat.
This prevents dangerous spikes after meals — one of the biggest challenges in type 2 diabetes.
Reduce Excess Glucagon
People with type 2 diabetes often release too much glucagon, the hormone that raises blood sugar.
GLP-1 medications help quiet this signal, keeping glucose levels steadier.
Improve A1C
Most people see their A1C drop by about 1–1.5%, and even more with dual agonists like tirzepatide.
For some, this improvement helps avoid or delay the need for insulin.
Support Weight Loss
Losing even 5–10% of your body weight can dramatically improve type 2 diabetes.
GLP-1 medications reduce appetite and cravings, making weight loss more achievable. This weight loss can improve insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation and support long-term control.
Protect Your Heart
For people with type 2 diabetes, GLP-1RAs significantly lower the risk of: heart attack , stroke, cardiovascular-related death
This is one of the biggest advantages over older diabetes medications.
