Losing insurance coverage for your GLP-1 medication doesnt mean the end of your treatment journey
For this study, we used the most recent All of Us Controlled Tier Dataset, version 8 (v8), which was released in February 2025
This includes information such as age, BMI, no concurrent use of other medications from the GLP-1 class or other weight loss medications, and relevant past medical history
So when you remove the GLP-1 medication, that patient is set back on a course of weight increase. In other words, without the medication to block and promote pathways that can affect a bodys biochemistry, a person is more likely to return to consuming more calories and regaining weight
