Liraglutide

Liraglutide is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. It mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release and decreasing sugar production in the liver. Additionally, it slows down stomach emptying, helping people feel full longer. Liraglutide is administered via daily injections and, when used alongside proper diet and exercise, can improve blood sugar control and promote weight loss. It is prescribed by healthcare providers and should be used under medical supervision to manage its benefits and potential side effects.
