Seven drugs have currently been approved for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, including short-acting agents like exenatide and lixisenatide, as well as long-acting injectable agents such as albiglutide, dulaglutide, liraglutide, and semaglutide. GLP-1s regulate lipid metabolism, reducing the effects of hyperlipidemia and helping to lower the risk for both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetic kidney disease.
