Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists

Modestly increasing glucagon levels when commencing physical activity could be an effective strategy for preventing exercise-induced hypoglycemia among patients with type 1 diabetes, results of a randomized crossover trial suggest.

The widespread bar on glucagon administration by basic providers of emergency medicine in the USA may prevent its use in three-quarters of cases in which it is needed, say researchers.

Jay Shubrook explores why it is so important to include hypoglycemia assessment and management as part of your diabetes management plan.
