"Diabetes Medications for Weight Loss: What You Need to Know"

Injectable drugs developed for Type 2 diabetes patients are helping people lose weight, with some losing a lot of weight. The drugs are in high demand and made a combined profit of nearly $10 billion dollars last year. The drugs work by making patients feel fuller, slowing down digestion and stopping them from eating too much. However, the drugs are expensive and have side effects, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Patients are advised to discuss their personal and family health history with their doctor before taking the medication.
