Most GL๐-1 patients are overmedicated.
I know that's a bold thing to say. But I see it constantly, and I think it needs to be said out loud.
One of my clients has been on the same tiny dose, injecting every other week, for almost a year now. Her weight is stable. She's within normal limits. She exercises. She's healthy. And she hasn't needed to change a single thing.
That is not a failure. That is the goal.
The problem is that so many providers are chasing the next dose increase without asking why. More units, more frequent injections, more medication. And for what? If the patient is stable, healthy, and thriving, the answer is not always more.
GL๐-1 is not a one size fits all medication. What works for you is completely unique to you, based on your history, your body, your goals, and where you are in the process right now. The right dose is the one that works for your life, not the one that looks right on a chart.
If your provider isn't asking those questions, that's worth paying attention to.
