GLP-1 Drugs: Not Just for Diabetes?

GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Trulicity are getting another gold star—this time for bone health! A new study found that people with type 2 diabetes on these drugs had fewer spine fractures and needed less surgery for them. The science-y bit? These meds might help bones build up and stay strong, not just manage blood sugar or weight. More perks for the ever-growing GLP-1 fan club! #Health #BodyHealth #GLP1

I took Trulicity for nearly 2.5 years for being prediabetic for over 10 years. It was amazing what it did for my overall health. Not only did my blood sugars decrease, but my genetically high cholesterol levels which is also being managed by meds for 10+ years. My BP went back to normal, increased my heart health, stabilized my mood, regulated my IBD and I lost a few pounds. I changed insurance companies, and they denied the coverage because so many began abusing GLP1s for weight loss only. Again, people buying it outright for weight loss ruined it for those who medically needed it. It's been an uphill battle with Medicare.
