Interestingly, GLP-1 is also known to decrease the rewarding effects of food intake by interacting with parts of the mesolimbic dopamine system such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens (NAc) [34], and also GABAergic circuits in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDTg) [35], which makes brain GLP-1R signaling a promising target for the treatment of alcohol and cocaine abuse disorders [36, 37]
Conclusions and Future Perspectives Overall, GLP-1RAs are considered novel blood glucose lowering drugs used in the treatment of T2MD (229), owing to their advantages of lowering blood pressure, lowering the levels of fasting blood glucose, lowering HbA1c, inducing weight loss, and being associated with a low incidence of hypoglycemia
Use 29-31 gauge insulin syringes for subcutaneous injections
8 Challenges in clinical application Considering the enumerated benefits of GLP-1RA compared to other glucose-lowering drugs including the reduction in HbA1c and weight reduction benefits alongside decreased risk for hypoglycaemia (122) it is not cost effective if used in combination with another incretin (107)
