A whole new perspective
Are you
looking at
every part
of diabetes?
You might be missing GLP-1.
It’s a
natural hormone that helps regulate glucose
metabolism. It also slows gastric emptying,
promotes satiety, and plays a significant role
in beta-cell function.
1
Its multiple actions
throughout the body are critical in diabetes.
Unfortunately, your patients might be
missing GLP-1, too.
Many people with
type 2 diabetes may have impaired GLP-1
secretion and impaired beta-cell response
to GLP-1.
2,3
This could contribute to the
pathogenesis of the disease.

Looking at the whole problem is the most
important part of understanding it. That’s why
Novo Nordisk is dedicated to ongoing research
and development in the management of
diabetes.
