Disease burden in patients with type 2 diabetes is largely driven by the associated long-term complications, making glycemic control an invaluable treatment goal. In 2005, the first incretin-based agent was introduced into the type 2 diabetes treatment landscape to address postprandial glucose control. Incretin-based therapies work through modulation of gut-derived hormones that play a role in maintaining euglycemia and regulating hormones. Incretin-based therapy plays a major role in managing patients with type 2 diabetes and has become a popular choice for controlling blood glucose levels because of its glycemic efficacy, ease of use, and low risk for hypoglycemia.
