By mimicking this hormone (GLP-1), it targets the area of the brain that regulates our appetite and food consumption. It slows down stomach emptying, thus leaving you feeling fuller for a longer period of time. It also stimulates the secretion of insulin and slows the release of glucagon in your body, influencing blood sugar control. ​
