Highlights In Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2 , dulaglutide demonstrated great improvements in glycemic control with mild body weight reduction and low hypoglycemia risk. The results indicate that dulaglutide is effective and safe in patients with T2D and lower BMI; therefore, BMI should not be a consideration when dulaglutide is prescribed to Chinese patients with T2D.
