How It Works

Tirzepatide is a medically prescribed injection for managing heathy glucose levels in adults. Tirzepatide is incredibly effective for managing type 2 diabetes as well as weight loss because it serves a dual purpose: increasing insulin and decreasing a hormone called glucagon. It stimulates the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptors, leading to more balanced glucose and insulin levels.

When used in tandem with a nutritious diet and exercise regimen, Tirzepatide also promotes a greater weight loss potential by reducing the appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and restabilizing glycemic control—especially for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Clinical trials with Tirzepatide treatments have shown patients experiencing anywhere between 12 – 25 lbs of weight loss, making it an effective solution for those who have plateaued with Semaglutide or other prescribed weight loss treatments. Additionally, Tirzepatide has been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular diseases in individuals with type 2 diabetes and those who have similar health conditions.

What Is A1C?

According to the CDC, an A1C test is commonly used to measure your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. Normal levels should be less than 5.7%, so if the number is higher, it’s likely the person is prediabetic or has type 2 diabetes. Tirzepatide injections help to lower individuals’ A1C levels to under 7%, which is the goal range for most adults with diabetes.
