Glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor agonistsIncretin effect and systemic effects of glucagon-like peptide type 1 and its agonists The incretin effect describes the phenomenon whereby oral glucose elicits higher (23 times) insulin secretory responses than does intravenous glucose.25 This is due to incretin hormones, such as GLP-1 or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, which stimulate insulin secretion in response to food intake

TOLERABILITY AND ADVERSE EVENTS The most common adverse events associated with GLP-1 receptor agonist use in general are gastrointestinal in nature, with mild-to-moderate diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting being the most commonly reported events

Most patients microdose with syringes because prefilled injections are not available in the form of microdoses
