Am I a Candidate for GLP-1 Medication? Quiz
Twelve questions to help you reflect on the factors clinicians consider — and prepare for a meaningful conversation with your doctor.
GLP-1 medications are typically considered for adults with obesity (a BMI of 30 or higher) or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea. But those are general guidelines — clinical candidacy involves a much more individual assessment.
This quiz walks you through the kinds of questions a doctor or prescriber would typically explore: your weight history, related health conditions, prior weight-loss attempts, and readiness for a longer-term plan. It won't give you a medical verdict, but it will help you think clearly about where you stand and what to raise at your next appointment.
Important: this quiz is a self-reflection and educational tool only — it is not medical advice and cannot determine your clinical eligibility for any medication. Candidacy for GLP-1 treatment is determined exclusively by a licensed healthcare professional who can review your complete health history. Please do not use this quiz as a substitute for a medical consultation.

Frequently asked questions
Is this quiz free and do I need an account?
Yes — all 12 questions and your result are completely free with no sign-up required.
Is this quiz medical advice or does it determine my eligibility for medication?
No. This quiz is a self-reflection tool only. It cannot assess your clinical eligibility for any medication — that requires a full medical evaluation by a licensed healthcare professional who can review your health history, lab work, and individual circumstances. Never use a quiz result as a substitute for a medical consultation.
How accurate is this quiz at assessing candidacy?
The quiz reflects general factors clinicians commonly consider, but accuracy for any individual is limited without a full clinical assessment. Use it to organise your thoughts, not to draw conclusions. Your doctor has the full picture; the quiz does not.
What should I do with my result?
Use it to prepare for a candid conversation with your doctor or prescriber. They can review your full situation and discuss whether any prescription option — including GLP-1 medications — is appropriate for you. In the meantime, tracking your weight, habits, and health data with Trimm gives you useful information to bring to that appointment.
