GLP-1RAs improve glycaemic control, reduce patient weight and improve patient-reported outcomes when administered as monotherapy or add-on therapy to other glucose-lowering drugs
GLP-1RAs reduce, or at least not increase, the risk of major cardiovascular events
GLP-1RAs are generally well tolerated with a very low intrinsic risk of hypoglycaemia
Once-weekly administration of GLP-1RAs may improve treatment adherence and satisfaction relative to more frequent treatment
Consider clinical and administration differences between-GLP-1RAs and patient preferences when individualizing treatment
