Abstract
Proof-of-concept for the efficacy of a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-based therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes was provided in 2002 by means of prolonged continuous subcutaneous infusion of native GLP-1. Since then, several long-acting analogues of GLP-1, as well as inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV, the enzyme that rapidly inactivates endogenous GLP-1, have demonstrated efficacy in long term clinical trials.Entities:
