GLP1R and Insulin resistance: GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors are superior to current antidiabetic drugs such as sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or DPP-4 inhibitors because of their low risk of hypo-glycemia, their beneficial roles in reducing body weight and reducing the grade of insulin resistance, their action on lowering blood lipids; therefore GLP-1 and SGLT-2 have been promoted as second-line therapeutic agents after metformin [102].
