Fibre-Rich Vegetables to Support Digestion on GLP-1 Fibre-rich vegetables help support digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce constipation commonly associated with GLP-1 medications
The association between GLP-1RA treatments and thyroid cancer has been a topic of discussion since their early development with the understanding that GLP-1 receptors are present on rodent thyroid parafollicular cells (C-cells), and that GLP-1RAs can cause an increase in calcitonin, and both C-cell hyperplasia and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
However, greater insulin resistance may initially blunt the glucose-lowering response until weight loss and lifestyle modifications take effect
It should not be used in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or in those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
