Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may offer benefits for glycemic control, cardiovascular health, and kidney function in type 2 diabetes management.

  • The effects of GLP-1 RAs on diabetic retinopathy (DR) are not clearly established.
  • These medications have shown potential in improving blood sugar levels.
  • GLP-1 RAs could be associated with cardiovascular benefits.
  • There may be renal protective effects linked to the use of GLP-1 RAs.
