GLP-1, short for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion. It is  released in the gut after eating and helps the body manage glucose more efficiently. In recent years, GLP-1 has become a major focus in both diabetes care and weight management strategies.

One of the primary functions of GLP-1 is to stimulate insulin secretion in response to rising blood sugar levels. At the same time, it suppresses glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar. This dual action helps maintain balanced glucose levels, making GLP-1 particularly important for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Beyond glucose control, GLP-1 also slows gastric emptying, meaning food stays in the stomach longer. This contributes to a feeling of fullness and can reduce overall calorie intake.
