Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise worldwide. Over the past five years, available treatment options have expanded to allow individualized management of patients with diabetes. The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have become an essential tool in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This class provides several advantages for glycemic control with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. Based on the most recent guidelines for T2DM, GLP-1 receptor agonists can be prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with oral antidiabetic agents or insulin for the management of T2DM. Dulaglutide has become the most recent and available GLP-1 receptor agonist on the market. Dulaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that can be used as monotherapy or as a second-line agent for T2DM. This review article summarizes the efficacy, safety, and clinical attributes of dulaglutide among patients with T2DM.
