How does GIP actually work?
I was on Sema for about a year then again for 6 months. I lost some weight but nothing you'd expect at my size. I know GLP1 essentially works as an appetite suppressant but what exactly does GIP do?
The closest I've come to understanding is it makes the beta cells produce more insulin but I'm not quite sure how producing more insulin is the solution if you're already insulin resistant.
I'm considering asking my doc if I can be put on mounjouro since it's available with a limited use exemption. I'm just looking for more science based details on it.
My doc is well versed but I often see residents who are just starting to learn themselves and the head is about a 2 month wait
