If you eat slower, you'll have more of the response to the GLP-1 because as your stomach is slowly starting to expand as the food is coming in, it'll release the GLP-1, he notes
Research suggests this might provide extra protection against future heart problems
It has multiple actions including: potentiation of glucose-mediated insulin secretion mechanisms identified: increased -cell proliferation, resulting in an increase -cell mass (Fusco et al, 2017) stimulation of insulin biosynthesis at the translational level, helping to maintain -cell insulin stores and secretory capacity (Baggio & Drucker, 2007) because the GLP-1 effect is glucose-dependent (there is more insulin release when glucose levels are elevated, but less effect when glucose levels are normal), GLP-1 agonists have a lower risk for producing hypoglycemia compared to sulfonylureas (that chronically stimulate insulin release, independent of glucose concentration) suppression of postprandial glucagon release Evidence indicates that stimulation of pancreatic cells by GLP-1 increases their glucose sensitivity, resulting in less glucagon release at any glucose level (Baggio & Drucker, 2007)
