Rare but serious risks include: Pancreatitis : Severe abdominal pain should prompt immediate medical attention Gallbladder problems : Rapid weight loss can increase gallstone risk Diabetic retinopathy complications : In people with existing eye disease, rapid glucose improvement may temporarily worsen retinopathy, particularly with semaglutide [14] [15] Hypoglycaemia : Low blood sugar is uncommon with GLP-1 agonists alone but can occur if combined with insulin or sulphonylureas [17] [18] GLP-1 agonists are not recognised to directly cause dangerous blood pressure drops (hypotension) in most patients
Patients with a history of cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) face no additional gallstone risk from GLP-1 therapy, as they have no gallbladder to form stones
