Explained in plain English
What are GLP-1 drugs?
GLP-1 drugs, like the one being trialled in Bradford, mimic a natural hormone in your body. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar and makes you feel fuller for longer, which can lead to eating less and losing weight. They're a relatively new class of medication showing promise for weight management.
