Another notable benefit of semaglutide GLP-1 injections is their effectiveness in promoting weight loss, particularly in patients with obesity

To bridge this gap, many clinical trials have been published and others are ongoing with promising results [43, 133135]

This class of drugs aims to combine the effects of agonism at the GLP1R (glucose lowering, decreased appetite) with those of GCGR activation (increased energy expenditure, reduced food intake), thus potentially providing improved glycaemic control in combination with substantial weight reduction

The dual activation appears to create additive benefits

This is good for managing blood sugar and weight

Measurable weight loss usually becomes apparent by weeks 3-4
