feeling cold on glp 1 Why Do GLP-1 Medications Make You Feel Cold? Why do GLP-1s do this?

Description

Common Symptoms of Insulin Resistance While lab testing can confirm insulin resistance, many people experience symptoms such as: Constant fatigue or energy crashes after meals Difficulty losing weight, especially belly fat Sugar or carb cravings Brain fog and poor concentration Increased hunger, even after eating Elevated fasting glucose or A1C levels Skin darkening on the neck, armpits, or groin (acanthosis nigricans) If these sound familiar, your body may be signaling that insulin resistance is at play

GLP1 in the brain is involved in various biological reactions such as stress response, aversion, anorexia, hypothalamic pituitary function, neuroinflammation, and neuroprotection [5153]

Beta cells in the pancreas respond by producing even more insulin, but eventually, they cant produce enough to keep up with the high glucose levels

3 To understand the relationship between GLP-1 medications and kidney function, as measured by creatinine lab results, we studied 108,439 adult patients who started semaglutide, liraglutide, or tirzepatide between 2021 and 2024 and had one or more creatinine labs in the months leading up to and following the new medication

There is substantial evidence suggesting that AMPK is dysregulated in animals and humans with metabolic syndrome or T2D, and that AMPK activation (physiological or pharmacological) can improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
