Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists in Hypoglycemia

Abstract: A relatively recent addition to the arsenal of antidiabetic drugs used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been the “incretin mimetics,” a group of drugs that work on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and enhance insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells in a glucose-dependent manner, more potently in hyperglycemic conditions, while suppressing glucagon secretion at the same time. Therefore, it was assumed that this class of drugs would have a lower risk of hypoglycemia than… Show more

“…GLP-1 RA have been shown to delay gastric emptying that may increase the risk of nausea, and longer duration of action may have a lesser effect on gastric motility, thus leading to less nausea [ 65 ]. Long-acting GLP-1 RAs such as weekly regimen or XR form was less likely to associate with nausea as compared to short-acting and frequent daily regimen [ 66 , 67 ]. In another study, gastric half-time emptying was delayed in most diabetic patients without preexisting gastroparesis after commencing GLP-1 RAs, while those with preexisting gastroparesis were minimally affected [ 68 ].…”

“…Generally, the risk of hypoglycaemia in patients taking GLP-1 RAs alone was low, and similar across all GLP-1 RAs [ 66 , 69 ]. The combination of GLP-1 RAs and metformin has not been associated with increased rate or severity of clinically relevant hypoglycaemic events [ 70 , 71 ].…”

“…The incretin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), is a well-known incretin peptide discharged into the circulation by scattered gastrointestinal and endocrine cells. [29][30][31] It is a gut-derived hormone that potentiates glucose-dependent insulin excretion from the pancreatic β-cells when blood glucose is high and contributes to glucose homeostasis. [32][33][34] Also, GLP-1 can improve metabolic, glycemic control, and weight loss via suppression of glucagon secretion, delay in gastric clearing, gastrointestinal fat absorption, and reduced food intake.…”

“…Dulaglutide is one GLP-1 Fc fusion protein that activates GLP-1 receptors and promotes glucose-dependent insulin secretion, which helps reduce fasting and postprandial glucose levels ( 21 ). Dulaglutide improves the insulin secretion index and helps regulate the body’s blood glucose level ( 22 ). Growing evidence suggests that Dulaglutide has the potential to treat diabetes-related neurodegenerative diseases ( 23 , 24 ).…”
