Here are some of the benefits we are seeing: Improved blood sugar control Increased insulin sensitivity Lowered risk of nerve damage and kidney disease (this is most pertinent for diabetic patients) Lowered cholesterol levels Lowered blood pressure levels Decreased risk of stroke Decreased risk of cardiac events (like a heart attack or heart disease) Its important to point out that most of these benefits are a result of losing weight (we see these benefits after bariatric surgery as well) but some studies are showing positive benefits on their own (regardless of the amount of weight loss)

Emerging preclinical research has identified GLP-1 receptors in various immune cells and tissues, leading to scientific interest in potential anti-inflammatory properties

Clinical response: Initiate therapy adjustments or additional behavioral support measures to jump-start weight loss

The drug has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in those with cardiovascular disease by 20 percent

The administration of DPP-4 inhibitors leads to a 2-3-fold elevation of endogenous GLP-1 concentration (9)
