Tirzepatide is a weekly injection for type 2 diabetes. It is also used off-label for weight loss. Unlike other diabetes treatments, tirzepatide works on blood sugar and weight loss at the same time.
Tirzepatide works by stimulating GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which boosts insulin secretion and decreases appetite. This leads to better blood sugar control and weight loss when paired with a balanced diet and exercise. In a study from 2021 in the New England Journal of Medicine, participants using Tirzepatide for 72 weeks lost an average of 15-20% of their body weight, surpassing the results of other comparable medications.
While Tirzepatide shows promising results for both diabetes management and weight loss, it is crucial to use it under medical supervision. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential to evaluate potential benefits and risks.
