Dulaglutide became the first funded GLP1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Aotearoa, New Zealand, in September 2021. Dulaglutide is a potential game-changer in the management of diabetes as it is a potent glucose-lowering agent without causing hypoglycaemia alone and reduces cardiovascular disease and weight independently of its effect on glucose levels.
In this webinar, Ryan will cover:
- The uptake of dulaglutide in Aotearoa New Zealand.
- Update the evidence and new clinical indications for dulaglutide.
- When to use dulaglutide.
- ‘Clinical pearls’ for dulaglutide use.
