Abstract

A target A1C of <7% is the recommended goal for most people with type 2 diabetes. However, many are not achieving this target with their current treatment. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are highly efficacious in achieving glycemic control and could aid primary care providers (PCPs) in getting patients to their A1C target. However, despite their potential, use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in the primary care setting is limited. This review provides guidance for PCPs on how to help patients achieve their glycemic target and overcome perceived barriers of GLP-1 receptor agonist use, with the overall goal of improving PCP confidence in prescribing these agents.
