The GLP-1 receptor agonist class offers multifactorial benefits, including reductions in blood glucose, weight loss and cardiovascular protection. But do these vary across the class, and which patients should be offered one? And given they also carry a high risk of gastrointestinal side effects, how should we approach initiating therapy? Join us for a conversation with Prof. Carel Le Roux, Professor of Experimental Pathology and Co-Director of the Metabolic Medicine Group at University College Dublin, and Reader in Investigative Science at Imperial College London.
