Our new, four-part blog series on <strong>GLP-1 Agonists<\/strong> will break down everything you need to know \u2014 from how these drugs work, to their real-world results, side effects, and what\u2019s coming next in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GLP-1<\/strong> stands for <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/diabetes\/overview\/what-is-diabetes\/glucagon-like-peptide-1-glp-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">glucagon-like peptide-1<\/a><\/i>. It\u2019s an incretin hormone produced in the gut that stimulates insulin secretion (when glucose is high), suppresses glucagon, slows gastric emptying and increases the feeling of fullness.<\/p>\n<p>GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are drugs that mimic or augment the effect of GLP-1. They are used mainly in patients with <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetes.org\/diabetes\/type-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)<\/a><\/b> for improving glycemic control, and many are also approved (or used off-label) for <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weight management \/ obesity<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>They generally have a low risk of causing hypoglycemia when used alone (because their insulin-stimulating effect depends on blood glucose).
