[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have so much sympathy for your daughter - she’s doing all the “right” things to be healthy weight - she eats well and exercises, and sounds like she’s got a balanced and fun approach with both, not some unsustainable extreme forms of either. And at her age, she probably has friends who scarf a pizza and coca cola every day and yet are thin. Genetics! Please remind your daughter that on a positive note, the insides of her body are healthy given how she aporoaches her eating and exercise.

Re: your question, you have to ask this of a doctor. If her pediatrician isn’t helpful, ask for a referral to a dietician who will give more than 2 seconds of thought to this (like many peds would), and will help your daughter explore what she is eating and when she is eating it, to see if any changes could be made there before going on a glp1. And the dietician may be able to refer you to a doctor who can talk through the pros and cons of going on glp1 at age 16.

If your daughter does eventually go on a glp1, I suspect she’ll be successful bc as I said above, she’s doing all the right things.

Good luck!
