Glucagon-Like Peptide 1: A Predictor of Type 2 Diabetes?

Matthias Ploug Larsen Signe Sørensen Torekov

Published in: Journal of diabetes research (2017)

This review suggests that the GLP-1 response is a variable in prediabetes possibly due to a varying GLP-1-secreting profile during the development and progression of type 2 diabetes or difference in the measurement technique. Longitudinal prospective studies are needed to assess whether a reduced GLP-1 response is a predictor of diabetes.
