  • •Baseline labs (A1c, metabolic panel, lipids) to guide treatment.
  • •A discussion of GLP-1 options for diabetes and/or weight management.
  • •A plan for follow-up monitoring and dose adjustment.

This is general guidance for internal medicine practices, not a description of Palmetto Pulmonary Physicians of Charleston PA's specific protocol, services, or pricing. Confirm what a visit involves directly with the practice — 843-795-1025.
