Slightly tangential to GLP-1 and beta-cell but wendy_avl reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
+1 to wendy_avl. Especially the point about "A few questions about your GLP-1 and bet..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with GLP-1 and beta-cell.
Dr.LeslieOBGYN — that is really helpful context on GLP-1 and beta-cell. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer Dr.ReproEndo's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, GLP-1 and beta-cell is an area where we have good evidence.
The short answer: baseline labs + quarterly monitoring is the standard of care.
The longer answer involves understanding the mechanism of action at the receptor level, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
