The aim is to find the lowest effective dose
In consideration of the multiple metabolic and cardiovascular effects seen in subjects treated with GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2is (e.g., reduction of hyperglycemia, weight loss, free/fat mass and bone remodeling, anti-atherosclerosis, natriuresis), it is reasonable to speculate that GH and IGF-1 may play a about a relevant role in this context
Some patients are still getting them, though, and some compounding pharmacies are tweaking them enough (they hope) to bypass the FDA ruling
