Smaller, more frequent meals are key when on GLP-1s, because youre just not that hungry
In the prospective study, when patients with type 2 diabetes on stable GLP-1 RA treatment were switched directly to tirzepatide 5 mg, they experienced additional weight reduction and improved glycemic outcomes with an acceptable risk of adverse gastrointestinal events over 12 weeks
Glucose levels were then increased to 20 mM and cells imaged for a further 5 minutes, followed by mitochondrial hyperpolarisation using 20 g/ml oligomycin for 5 minutes and depolarisation using 20 M carbonyl cyanide 4-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) for 5 minutes
In practical terms, that means the typical individual in Mississippi would need to spend roughly one-eighth of their annual income to maintain continuous GLP-1 treatment, a cost so steep it would likely require cutting back on essentials or major lifestyle expenses just to afford it
