glp 1 agonist for type 1 diabetes Mechanisms of action of GLP-1RA How GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Evolved

Initially approval was for an injectable version, but in September 2019 an oral form, called Rybelsus, was approved in the US and then in the European Union in April 2020

GLP-1 also signals the brain to induce satiety (the feeling of being full) and slows down the rate at which the stomach empties, thus reducing hunger and controlling food intake
