All about Trulicity, Ozempic, Victoza, Bydureon, and others. An Intro to GLP1s

Ever wonder about medicines like Trulicity, Ozempic, or Victoza? These diabetes medications all work in a similar way in the management of Type 2 Diabetes and improving A1c. In this video, I discuss the natural role of GLP-1 in managing blood glucose, how these medications fit into that role, what the benefits are, and what the side effects are. A couple corrections to the video: At 1:52, I misspoke and said "glycogen" instead of "glucagon" At 2:33, I accidentally said "insulin" instead of "intestine". Sorry about any confusion. As promised in the video, here are links to relevant studies on the cardiovascular safety/potential benefits of these medications: Adlyxin: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056...
