Deep dives

GLP1s: Weight loss drugs with diabetes applications

GLP1s, or Glugogen-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, are weight loss drugs that stimulate the release of insulin to lower blood sugar levels. They also slow down the emptying of food from the stomach, making individuals feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. The rise in healthcare spending and the need for better health outcomes in the United States has led to a shift in spending towards therapeutics like GLP1s. The drugs have already shown a decrease in spending on bariatric surgeries, with more focus on prescription medications. However, GLP1s come with potential side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal symptoms, injection site issues, and risks of pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and hypoglycemia. Despite these risks, the demand for GLP1s remains high, with an estimated 9 to 10 percent of the US population currently taking them.
