Diabetes & GLP‑1 Treatments at Worthy Weight Loss in Plano, TX

Type 2 Diabetes Treatment & GLP‑1 Therapy | Worthy Weight Loss Clinic

Manage type 2 diabetes with GLP‑1 weight loss support at Worthy Weight Loss. Non‑surgical, medical weight loss program to improve A1C, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition in which the body either resists the effects of insulin or fails to produce enough insulin to properly regulate blood sugar. Over time, uncontrolled blood glucose can lead to complications affecting the kidneys, nerves, heart, eyes, and more. At Worthy Weight Loss, we understand that weight, metabolic health, and glycemic control are tightly interwoven—and that is why integrating GLP‑1 (glucagon‑like peptide‑1) medications into a comprehensive weight loss approach can transform outcomes for people with diabetes.

How GLP‑1 Medications Help in Diabetes

How GLP‑1 Medications Help in Diabetes

GLP‑1 receptor agonists (such as tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, and newer agents) mimic a naturally occurring gut hormone that helps regulate blood sugar. They work through multiple mechanisms:

  • They increase insulin secretion in response to meals (when blood glucose is elevated), helping lower postprandial blood sugar.

  • They suppress glucagon release, thereby reducing the liver’s glucose output, which contributes to lower fasting glucose levels.

  • They slow gastric emptying, meaning food moves more slowly from the stomach to the small intestine, prolonging satiety and blunting glucose spikes after meals.

  • Because they work glucose‑dependently (i.e. more effect when glucose is high), the risk of dangerous hypoglycemia is relatively low compared to agents that act independently of blood glucose.

  • Many GLP‑1 agents also produce weight loss, which itself improves insulin sensitivity, lowers insulin resistance, and reduces the stress on pancreatic beta cells.

In clinical trials, GLP‑1 therapies have been shown to reduce A1C by about 0.5% to 2.3%, depending on the drug and dose. They also help with weight loss, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and cardiovascular risk reduction in people with type 2 diabetes.

Why Weight Loss Is Critical in Diabetes

Even a modest 5 % to 10 % body weight reduction can lead to significant improvements in glycemic control, lower insulin doses, reduce cardiovascular risk factors, and slow disease progression. GLP‑1 medications help patients accomplish weight loss in a medically supported way, giving them a better chance to reverse or slow the worsening of diabetes.
