Abstract
This mini review explores the increasing prevalence of obesity in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the challenges patients face in achieving optimal glycemic control with current treatments. It discusses the evidence supporting the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) as potential adjunctive therapy in T1D to reduce weight and improve insulin resistance. Potential benefits need to be weighed against the risk of hypoglycemia and lack of long-term data.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series.
In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology.
Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
