Differential effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on components of dysglycaemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TLDR
Evidence suggests that the GLP-1 RAs that predominantly target thePrandial glucose excursions, such as exenatide twice daily and lixisenatide once-daily prandial, are therefore best used as combination therapy with basal insulin and will form an important new treatment option for individuals with T2DM.

Pharmacology and therapeutic implications of current drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety profiles, including cardiovascular safety, of currently available therapies for management of hyperglycaemia in patients with T2DM are assessed within the context of disease pathogenesis and natural history.

Pharmacokinetics and clinical use of incretin-based therapies in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: The already large reassuring experience with DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with CKD offers new opportunities to the clinician, whereas more caution is required with GLP-1 receptor agonists because of the limited experience in this population.

Glycemic Variability: How to Measure and Its Clinical Implication for Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Glycated hemoglobin A1c levels have traditionally been the gold standard for assessing glycemic control and treatment efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes, however, A1C does not take into account fluctuations in blood glucose levels known as glycemic variability (GV).

Effects on weight loss and glycemic control with SAR441255, a potent unimolecular peptide GLP-1/GIP/GCG receptor triagonist

TL;DR: SAR441255, a synthetic peptide agonist of the GLP-1, GCG, and GIP receptors, structurally based on the exendin-4 sequence, displays high potency with balanced activation of all three target receptors as discussed by the authors .

The incretin system: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Clinical trials with the incretin mimetic exenatide and liraglutide show reductions in fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations, and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) associated with weight loss, but long-term clinical studies are needed to determine the benefits of targeting the inc retin axis for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Biology of Incretins: GLP-1 and GIP

TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanisms regulating the synthesis, secretion, biological actions, and therapeutic relevance of the incretin peptides glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
