Efficacy and safety of GLP-1 analog ecnoglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
Recent research has identied glucagon as a key hor- mone that modulates postprandial amino acid metabolism, and the integrated action of GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon is required for proper disposal of glucose, lipids, and amino acids in response to a meal (Finan et al., 2016;Holst et al., 2017;M uller et al., 2017)
It achieves this through a combination of analytical precision, operational simplicity, and broad compatibility with standard laboratory practices and equipment
Your healthcare team can arrange appropriate investigations if needed, though specialised tests such as breath tests for bacterial overgrowth or gastric emptying studies are typically arranged by specialists rather than in primary care
