GLP-1 RAs in Combination with Basal Insulin: the Rationale An attractive therapeutic option as both components may address complementary targets and underlying mechanisms without hypoglycemia and weight gain associated with intensification of the insulin regimen. Do All GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Interact Equally with Basal Insulin?
