Committee Recommendations (2)

Dulaglutide continues to be the preferred GLP-1 where weekly injection is indicated (due to it no longer having black triangle status)

Semaglutide is an alternative option for weekly injection.

Liraglutide is an alternative 1st-line (for patients who wish to have a daily injection)

Lixisenatide is no longer a preferred treatment but remains an option.

Treatment with GLP-1s should be reviewed at 6 months. If there is no beneficial metabolic response (defined in NICE guidance), then stop treatment, and consider alternative treatment (usually insulin initiation) in line with NICE guidance

A PREFERRED GLP-1 RECEPTOR AGONIST:
Widely used, once weekly preparation.

Treatment should be reviewed at 6 months. If there is no beneficial metabolic response (defined in NICE guidance), then stop treatment, and consider alternative treatment (usually insulin initiation) in line with NICE guidance
