Type 1 Diabetes

[DannyGreenfire]

Has Reta been tested at all on Type 1 diabetics? From what I’ve read and people I’ve spoken to it’s a little softer than Semaglutide but I can’t find any info on suitability for T1Ds. When it says Reta works on Insulin and Glucagon receptors does it do so in a way which might be detrimental for someone with T1D.

Do I have any choice if I want a degree of research backed safety - aside from Semaglutide?

Because of the GLP1 agonist in these peps, I would be highly cautious in using these if at all with type 1 diabetes. Have you considered other peps to research that do not work on those glp1 receptors?

 

[DannyGreenfire]

What’s the reason they can’t be used with T1D though? What’s about the mechanism of how they work makes them unsuitable?

No, I haven’t looked into other non-GLP1s. What in particular are you thinking of? I’m not massively versed in weight loss peptides.

It's based in keeo insulin low. People with type 1 have to inject insulin. It's similar to the idea that people with type 1 can't take metformin either. Maybe look into the peptide AOD, cjc1295 with Ipamorelin, tesamorelan, MOT-C.

People with Type 1 can take Metformin and often do. They just have to take it alongside exogenous insulin. I’m not sure if the mechanism that keeps the bodies insulin production low would affect an exogenous insulin source anyway?

Either way, I’ll look into the others. Are there any that are seen as particularly effective?

Thanks for letting me know about metformin.
