Abstract

Patients with type 1 diabetes using GLP-1 receptor agonists had a lower all-cause mortality rate (HR = 0.18) over 2 years compared to those not using these medications.

  • Patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists experienced significantly lower rates of all-cause hospitalizations (OR = 0.30).
  • Emergency department visits were reduced in patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists (OR = 0.56).
  • The use of endoscopic procedures was lower among those on GLP-1 receptor agonists (OR = 0.52).
  • Laxative prescriptions were also reduced in this cohort (OR = 0.52).
  • Prokinetic prescription rates were lower in patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists (OR = 0.74).
  • No significant differences were found for diabetic ketoacidosis, antiemetic prescriptions, or hypoglycemia.
