Many Teens on GLP-1 Drugs Face Vitamin D Deficiency
Original: Teens on GLP-1 Drugs: 12.4% Diagnosed with Vitamin D Deficiency Within a Year, and Few Got Nutrition Counseling
A new report finds that 12.4% of teenagers taking GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes medications are diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency within a year, and few of them receive nutrition counseling to offset the risk. The findings raise concerns about whether young patients on these increasingly prescribed drugs are getting adequate dietary support alongside treatment.
Why now: GLP-1 drug use among adolescents is rising rapidly, prompting scrutiny of side effects and whether patients receive proper nutritional guidance
