How does Mounjaro regulate blood sugar levels?
Mounjaro helps regulate blood sugar by mimicking two natural hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which increase insulin release, reduce the amount of sugar produced by the liver, and slow down how quickly food leaves the stomach. This combination not only lowers blood sugar but also helps people feel fuller for longer, making it easier to eat less and lose weight. By targeting these processes, Mounjaro supports both blood sugar control and weight loss, which is why it is increasingly used for people looking to manage their weight as well as their diabetes.
