How Well Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists Work Compared to Oral Medicines for Stopping Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Addition of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) to basal insulin may decrease insulin requirements.

  • The effect of GLP-1RAs on insulin use has been observed in some cases.
  • It remains uncertain if GLP-1RAs can lead to complete discontinuation of insulin.
  • Further investigation is needed to clarify the potential for insulin reduction or elimination.
