Who qualifies for GLP-1

GLP-1 medications are powerful tools for weight management and blood sugar control, but they are not for everyone. When you complete your online medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness. Generally, candidates have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). Certain contraindications, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), will exclude you from treatment. The doctor will assess your full medical history to determine if GLP-1 is appropriate for your individual health needs.

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

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. For individuals with type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 also helps lower blood sugar levels. It's important to understand that GLP-1 is a tool to support a healthy lifestyle, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with diet and exercise. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects vary, but consistent use typically shows results over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, GLP-1s can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. You should stop taking GLP-1 and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects and what to look out for during your consultation.
