A GLP-1 shot is a medication that is injected under the skin to help regulate blood sugar levels and can also aid in weight loss. GLP-1 is a hormone that helps stimulate the release of insulin and suppresses the release of glucagon, which can help lower blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. By helping to regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite, GLP-1 shots can aid in weight loss efforts.

GLP-1 shots may be recommended for people who are overweight or obese, and have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. They may also be prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes who need help controlling their blood sugar levels and want to lose weight at the same time.

The most common side effects of GLP-1 shots include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Some people may also experience stomach pain, constipation, or a loss of appetite. However, these side effects may decrease over time as the body adjusts to the medication. In rare cases, it may cause pancreatitis or thyroid cancer.

A GLP-1 shot is administered using a small needle that is inserted under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It is usually given once a week, although some formulations may need to be given more frequently. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose and frequency based on your individual needs.
