A target A1C of <7% is the recommended goal for most people with type 2 diabetes. However, many are not achieving this target with their current treatment. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are highly efficacious in achieving glycemic control and could aid primary care providers (PCPs) in getting patients to their A1C target. However, despite their potential, use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in the primary care setting is limited. This review provides guidance for PCPs on how to help patients achieve their glycemic target and overcome perceived barriers of GLP-1 receptor agonist use, with the overall goal of improving PCP confidence in prescribing these agents.
糖化血红蛋白(A1C)目标值<7%是大多数2型糖尿病患者的推荐目标。然而,许多患者目前的治疗方案并未达到这一目标。胰高血糖素样肽1(GLP-1)受体激动剂在实现血糖控制方面非常有效,有助于初级保健提供者(PCP)帮助患者达到A1C目标。然而,尽管GLP-1受体激动剂具有潜力,但在初级保健环境中的使用仍然有限。本综述为初级保健提供者提供指导,帮助患者实现血糖目标并克服使用GLP-1受体激动剂的认知障碍,总体目标是提高初级保健提供者开具这些药物的信心。
