Who qualifies for GLP-1

When reviewing your case for GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide, the doctor considers several factors to ensure it's safe and effective for you. Generally, GLP-1s are prescribed for individuals with:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
• A BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• A history of trying other weight management methods without success.

The doctor will also assess for contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe kidney disease. Your Hi-Doctor consultation ensures a thorough, individual assessment.

What GLP-1 actually does (and doesn't do)

GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a natural hormone (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) that your body releases after eating. This leads to several effects:

• Appetite reduction: You feel fuller faster and for longer, helping you eat less.
• Slowed gastric emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to a feeling of satiety.
• Blood sugar control: It helps regulate blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for those with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

It's important to understand that GLP-1s are not a magic bullet. They are most effective when used in conjunction with lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Weight loss is gradual, typically occurring over several months, and varies for each individual. GLP-1s are a tool to support your weight management journey, not a substitute for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can cause side effects. The most common ones are usually mild and temporary, especially at the start of treatment as your body adjusts. These include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Headache

These side effects often improve over time. However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe, persistent abdominal pain (could indicate pancreatitis)
• Signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing)
• Severe or prolonged vomiting/diarrhoea leading to dehydration

Your Hi-Doctor will provide comprehensive information on potential side effects and when to contact a healthcare professional.
