Our study describes a novel action of GLP-1 signalling in -cells, which stimulates metabolic/bioenergetic reprograming resulting in a high glycolytic/high ATP generating phenotype, as detailed in (Fig
While GLP-1 receptor agonists have a lower risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone (compared to some other diabetes medications), this risk increases significantly when combined with sulfonylureas or insulin

The confirmed cancer concern with GLP-1 agonists involves thyroid C-cell tumors, based on rodent studies showing medullary thyroid carcinoma at high drug exposures
The peptide has been administered at doses far exceeding those used therapeutically without significant adverse effects
