It is even possible that the insulin-stimulating, glucagon-suppressing effects of the peptide or a more active synthetic analogue may be useful in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, in which both impaired insulin release in response to glucose and persistent hyperglucagonemia are thought to be key pathophysiological abnormalities' (Kreymann, Ghattei, Williams, Bloom)
Exercise: Regular physical activity, including both aerobic exercise (like brisk walking or cycling) and resistance training, has been shown to increase GLP-1 levels and improve the bodys sensitivity to insulin
The two scientists overcame the problem by engineering fatty acids that bound more strongly to albumin so that it would stick longer to GLP which would make it remain active for longer in the body
Starting at the lowest dose and increasing the dose gradually over time may help to minimize side effects
