21. G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Stimulation Raises GLP-1 levels indirectly Oral delivery Early phase research

22. Type 2 diabetes prevalence is on the rise, bringing with it a pending tide of cardiovascular complications Deterioration of beta-cell function contributes to progression of type 2 diabetes, which often is marked by worsening insulin resistance as well. Both processes are typically well under way by the time of diagnosis Summary At the end of this activity, participants should understand:

23. Better glycemic control is linked to reduced risk of microvascular disease and, over the long term, lower risk of macrovascular disease as well Early intervention is key to these effects, as the ACCORD, VADT, and other trials have shown that more intensive efforts are largely ineffective later in the course of type 2 diabetes Animal studies have suggested that very early use of incretin drugs can delay beta-cell decline Summary

24. Incretin mimetics new to the clinic and on the horizon include the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin, which was approved by the FDA earlier this year, and a once-weekly formulation of the GLP-1 receptor agonist drug exenatide recently approved in Europe that is under review in the U.S. A novel class of oral drugs that raise GLP-1 indirectly through G-protein-coupled receptor stimulation is in early stage development Summary
