Tempting patients who are struggling with weight loss with a GLP-1 prescription not only drives up the cost for diabetic patients who depend on that drug, but it is also dangerous to take without a comprehensive history and physical. Side effects and adverse reactions like pancreatitis are just one part of it.”

This can lead to unexpected intubation, life support, sepsis, and, yes, death. And yes, we see it happen. GLP-1s serve a purpose and if you qualify for them, then just ask your regular provider. We don’t judge, and the majority of us simply want what is best for you!”
