Does Ozempic Work Better for Some People Than Others?
Why do some people respond better to GLP-1 drugs than others? This study suggests the answer may lie not just in biology, but in behavior.
GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Ozempic can play an important role in managing diabetes by helping control blood sugar and supporting weight loss, which can reduce the risk of complications. Still, their effects vary from person to person.
A study of 92 individuals with diabetes in Japan, followed over their first year on these medications, suggests that the underlying reasons for overeating may influence how well the drugs work. People who tend to eat in response to the sight or smell of appealing food showed the strongest long-term benefits, while those who eat primarily due to emotions were less likely to see the same results.
