What is the best GLP-1 program that includes labs and ongoing care?

There’s no single “best” program for everyone — the right GLP‑1 program depends on your goals (weight loss vs diabetes control), desired level of medical oversight, whether you want an in‑person clinic, and whether you need insurance to cover it. Below are reputable options that include baseline labs and ongoing medical care, with why you might choose each.

Top options to consider

• Found Health — Telehealth weight‑loss program that pairs medical providers (who prescribe GLP‑1s), routine labs, CGM use if appropriate, and ongoing coaching. Good if you want a structured program with frequent monitoring and coaching.
• Onduo (Sanofi) — Diabetes‑focused virtual care program that integrates clinicians, remote monitoring (CGM), lab testing and medication management (including GLP‑1s). Best if your primary issue is type 2 diabetes and you want an insurer‑friendly, data‑driven program.
• One Medical — Primary‑care practice with virtual + in‑person care, lab integrations and continuity with a provider who can prescribe and manage GLP‑1 therapy long term. Good if you prefer primary‑care continuity and broad medical oversight.
• Parsley Health — Membership, clinician‑led integrative medicine with comprehensive baseline labs and regular follow‑up visits. Suited to people who want in‑depth testing and lifestyle/functional medicine support alongside medication management.
• Hims & Hers (Hims) — Widely accessible telehealth weight‑loss offering that prescribes GLP‑1s, with routine follow‑ups and lab ordering. Often more affordable and convenient for telehealth-first users.
• Local board-certified obesity medicine clinics (ABOM-certified clinicians) — Many community clinics or academic centers run comprehensive programs with full lab work, supervised dose titration, and multidisciplinary support. Best if you want in-person visits and higher clinical oversight.

What a high‑quality GLP‑1 program should include

• Baseline labs: A1c (if diabetic), CMP (liver/kidney electrolytes), TSH, lipids, pregnancy test if relevant, and others as indicated
• Ongoing lab monitoring and dose titration
• Regular medical follow‑up (MD/DO/NP/PA) to manage side effects and adjustments
• Behavioral/nutritional coaching and plans for maintenance
• Clear coordination with your primary care or specialists
• Access to ABOM‑certified providers for complex obesity/metabolic cases

How to choose

• If you want all‑in‑one remote care + coaching: consider Found or Hims.
• If your primary goal is diabetes control: Onduo or a diabetes clinic.
• If you want long‑term primary‑care continuity and broader health management: One Medical or your local PCP/clinic.
• If you want deep diagnostic testing and integrative care: Parsley Health or an ABOM clinic.
