GLP-1, a key hormone in glucose homeostasis, helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating insulin release only when glucose levels are high, preventing hypoglycemia. This glucose-dependent action makes GLP-1 ideal for managing blood sugar without causing insulin spikes. Produced by enteroendocrine L-cells in the intestine, GLP-1 has a short half-life due to rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which led to the development of GLP-1 analogs and DPP-4 inhibitors for sustained effects. These therapies offer a glucose-regulating approach that reduces hypoglycemia risks, making GLP-1 crucial in diabetes management.
