so glp1 agonists work by supplying a hormone that tends to wane in people as they develop type 2 diabetes this is a hormone that tells after you eat it tells the pancreas to give a shot of insulin and when you're not eating it also tells it shuts down glucagon production in the liver so you're making less glucose gluconeogenesis when you don't need to be and that's one of the problem when you're eating this chunky diet you get these incretin levels get low you get this gluconeogenesis so you wake up in the morning even after not eating for eight or ten hours and your glucose is high because you're making glucose when you don't need to be so this basically restores a hormone that is that is low and it sort of balances out kind of lowers fasting insulin and raises postprandial insulin and increasing also slow bowel motility so that slows absorption so you don't get the big spikes in glucose and actually you know kind of makes you feel full faster
