Last month, we asked 3400 healthcare professionals about their concerns regarding this new weight-loss trend in our M3 Pulse survey.

Since 1975, the prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight, with over 650 million classified as obese. This is a significant health issue, as obesity is preventable yet contributes to various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, and certain cancers.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/obesity-and-overweight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">*<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eef4fe6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eef4fe6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These challenges extend to children and adolescents. In 2019, approximately 38.2 million children under 5 were overweight or obese.

The medication has caught the eye of not only healthcare professionals but also celebrities, who are increasingly turning to it to maintain their physique. On social media platforms, influencers are posting their dramatic before-and-after transformations, attributing their success to this diabetes medication.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18f8499 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18f8499\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The hype surrounding these drugs has led to a shortage of diabetes medication, expected to persist for several months, causing concern among diabetes patients who are dependent on it to manage their blood sugar. There have also been reports of pre-filled pens falsely labelled as diabetes medicine circulating among wholesalers in the EU and the UK, which has caught the attention of the European Medicines Agency. As with any pharmaceutical, there are potential side effects; users might experience symptoms such as nausea, dehydration, fatigue, and alterations in bowel movements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b804b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"5b804b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"DiabetesMedicationShortages\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b39103c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b39103c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6b5988 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f6b5988\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.m3globalresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/diabetes-medication.jpg\" title=\"diabetes medication\" alt=\"weight loss trend - diabetes medication - off-label method\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec159a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ec159a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a6974e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a6974e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Diabetes Medication Shortages and Concerns for Diabetes Patients<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ad237c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ad237c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Physicians are reporting an increase in individuals without diabetes or significant weight issues seeking diabetes medications as a means of weight loss. Experts from UCLA Health advise those aiming to lose weight to thoroughly understand their treatment options before seeking prescriptions for diabetes medications. Matthew Freeby, MD, Director of the Gonda Diabetes Center at UCLA, acknowledges that many patients benefit from these drugs, particularly those with diabetes or obesity. However, he highlights that the shortages resulting from off-label usage are causing significant problems.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uclahealth.org\/news\/concerns-arise-over-diabetes-medications-used-weight-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">*<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-282c6f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"282c6f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Across the US, people with diabetes are increasingly finding it difficult to fill their prescriptions for certain diabetes medications.

In other words, the medication is being used in a manner not specified in the FDA&#8217;s approved packaging label or insert.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bcd3bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bcd3bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It&#8217;s important to note that off-label prescribing is legal and quite common in medical practice. It&#8217;s often based on emerging research, clinical studies, or documented experiences that indicate the drug may be effective for conditions not included in its official approval. However, because these uses are not as rigorously tested and approved by the FDA, they can carry risks and should be approached with caution. Doctors typically rely on their professional judgment, guidelines, and research studies when prescribing medications off-label.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05ab024 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05ab024\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The off-label use of diabetes medications for weight loss is a trend that requires careful consideration and management. Healthcare professionals must navigate the challenges this trend presents, ensuring that the needs of diabetes patients are met while also addressing the global issues of obesity and overweight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d98097 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d98097\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In light of recent trends and new research, the FDA recently approved a new diabetes medication for weight loss. The approved drug is designated for individuals classified as obese (BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight with related health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. It functions by imitating hormones that control appetite and satiety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d25059e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d25059e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Administered through weekly injections, these drugs have been shown to facilitate considerable weight loss. However, they can cause side effects like gastrointestinal discomfort and are costly (over $1,000 per month), potentially limiting access for uninsured patients and low-income earners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e63360 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e63360\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This development is particularly relevant in the context of the global rise in obesity and diabetes.
