Adherence and Persistence with Injectable Compared to Oral GLP-1 Treatments in People with Type 2 Diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are effective therapies for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

  • Sustained glycemic control is essential for preventing long-term complications associated with T2DM.
  • GLP-1 RAs have been shown to effectively manage blood sugar levels in T2DM patients.
  • Traditional administration of GLP-1 RAs is via injection, which may affect patient adherence.
  • Oral formulations, such as oral semaglutide, could enhance patient persistence with treatment.
