Why are insurers cutting GLP-1 coverage
(2022) demonstrated that combined GLP-1/GIP/glucagon co-agonism produced approximately 3040% greater fat mass reduction in preclinical models compared to GLP-1/GIP dual agonism alone at matched doses
This particular medication achieves its effect by engaging both the GIP and GLP-1 hormone receptors, leading to a reduction in appetite and an improvement in metabolic performance
GLP-1 and GIP therapy should be considered in people with indicators of high risk or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
And while the goal is for that fuel to come from stored fat, the body does not always cooperate
