why the fuck does a diabetes drug for more insulin make people lose weight? i don't understand the mechanism here
appetite suppressant
Can't people just smoke meth like the good old days?
Aside from the glucose regulation stuff, the hormone it mimics also suppresses the appetite and slows digestion. So you feel less hungry, and stay fuller for longer.
Cells in general intake more sugar so not so much gets to the "ok let's turn this sugar into fat" cells?
I actually don't know it's just a guess
wildly roundabout and permanent for anyone with a healthy pancreas, american doctors are insane. why can't we just have ampethamines and better regulated food?
