All of this is what allows GLP-1 receptor agonists to help treat type 2 diabetes
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a family of antihyperglycemic drugs that have demonstrated potent HbA1c reduction, low risk of hypoglycemia, with associated weight reduction, and proven cardiovascular and renal benefits.24 In this review we describe this type of drugs, their cardiovascular and renal benefits, as well as their clinical potential in patients with DKD, especially with the new oral semaglutide formulation, now available on the market
We did not conduct meta-analyses for severe hypoglycaemia because events were rare
