LPG-1 and type 1 diabetes: hope or risk?

Hello everyone,

Today I want to share a news that has made me reflect as a person with type 1 diabetes for more than 25 years.This is the worrying increase in the use of GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic or Zepbound) between people with type 1 diabetes, especially those with obesity.

According to a new study, more and more people like us, both adults and children, are resorting to these medications to control weight.And yes, although for many years we have identified us as "thin", reality is changing: insulin treatment, added to the current lifestyle, has made obesity also touch us closely.

Controlling weight with type 1 diabetes is a real challenge.It is not just a matter of aesthetics: it is health, self -esteem and quality of life.That is why I perfectly understand those who are looking for alternatives like these medications, which promise a lot.But ... at what price?

🚨 The problem is that LPG-1 are not approved for type 1 diabetes and the most worrying: they can increase the risk of serious hypoglycemia.Although some professionals are already prescribing them "out of indication", there are still not enough studies that tell us if they really are safe for us.

The news leaves me with a bittersweet feeling: on the one hand, the hope that perhaps these treatments can help us in the future.On the other, the fear that despair or social pressure will push us to make risky decisions without the support of science.

I think this reinforces a truth that we all know:We need more specific research for type 1 diabetes.We are not type 2. We cannot apply the same solutions without understanding how they affect us.

What do you think about the use of LPG-1 in type 1?

Have you tried it?

Have you recommended it?

A strong hug to all,

Hello.

I am Type 2. I started at the end of January to take Rybelsus (scamgly in tablets) + Invokana.It works yes, but it is not magic.

I have lost 13 kilos.I sometimes take away hunger, I find me faster, but I have also noticed that at a certain time at 6 - 6:30 the body asks me to put something because I stay without energy.I have learned to read tags and look for something that saves me, nourishes me and has some few hydrates.

I still have no result of the A1C ... but on an empty stomach has gone from more than 180 to 120.

At the end of the month I have review with the endocrine.And see if it leaves me at 7 mg or gets to 14 mg.

The pity is that I have all the ferric metabolism made a disaster ... to see if I fix it.

The thing is that I read a lot of Reddit and there are tons of type 1 in the United States taking any type of semaglutida (Ozempic, Mounjaro ...) Although in the prospect of my medication he explicitly says that it is not for type 1. So I do not know if it is the biggest clinical experiment in history or doctors there they pass by motorcycle ...

Hello.

I am type 1, in January they proposed to take Ryvelsus, and I told them that I would think about it.

Now in March I had a fall and I have been in bed for 3 weeks, which affected my glycemia and my weight.

I met my team of endocrine and have prescribed the 3 mg Ryvelsus, it is still early to say how I am doing, but I have noticed that I am able to better control the pecks between unnecessary hours and that my sugar levels are much more stable.

I think everything will depend on the problem each diabetic has.

Because none suffer from the disease the same

The laboratory told me that although it was not on a technical file, it could be used in type 1 and it was still studying but what little there was, it was in favor.It is really a tto or obesity and not for DB 1, it can have an effect on glycemia but little since our problem is that we have no insulin, with what I do not think it is a serious problem

It really is a treatment for type 2 diabetes that has results from rebound that helps with obesity.So lower blood sugar so it should be taken into account for the administration of insulin in type 1. I am very rookie in this the truth and with a very little idea of ​​type 1 so that something is probably saying something wrong but it would probably have to be monitored closely so that there are no hypos?The truth is that it is helping me although at the moment I only have fasting glucose data.Until 2 weeks I do not have the review with the endocrine to see the A1C

But in type 2 DB there is an insulin resistance, and it is the one that produces hyperglycemia.If there is greater resistance..Normally one type 2 has this tto associated with another, it is very rare that it is alone.In any clear case, which lowers glycemia in type 2 PQ there is normally resistance associated with obesity but in type 1 the mechanism is another.You have to inject insulin because we do not have it, you may over time or if it puts weight, there is more insulin resistance but it is rare that the blood glucose decreases alone and if so, then the insulin dose is lowered.There is not much experience in type 1 but it seems that there have been no hypos or imptes side effects.

I take it with Invokana.But there are really many type 2 with semaglutida.Type 1 you see that I have no idea 😅

Well, if the insulin resistance of the mornings lowers and does not produce stomach as metformin, great.I do not know why they still do not prescribe it to type 1, we will already lower the basal and the rapid according to each one.

And if they take away those kilos of more, I don't even tell you, that with menopause it is disgusting.

I have contraindicated the use of GLP-1 agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors

So none of that serves me.Rather on the contrary.

But that does the 13 classes that I have removed since the end of January are a gift ... and my TSH better than ever so something else will control glucose.Because I have heavy much less than weight now and my TSH has never dropped from 5 and now drops from 2.

I also take Rybelsus of 7 mg that is in pill because they do not ensure the supply of injectables.
