The combination of basal insulin and GLP‑1-based therapies addresses complimentary targets such as: • Fasting and pre-prandial glucose by suppressing hepatic glucose production and improving β-cell function • Post-prandial glucose by decelerating gastric emptying • …and may help alleviate some of the problems of insulin therapy: • Weight gain • Hypoglycaemia • Elevated doses of insulin
Clinical outcomes • In clinical practice, combination therapy could arise: • By adding insulin to pre-existing GLP-1RA therapy • By adding GLP-1RAs to established insulin therapy

Overall conclusions • Adding basal insulin to pre-existing GLP-1RA therapy or adding GLP-1RAs to established insulin therapy may help improve glycaemic control and reduce glycaemic excursions • Improvement in HbA1c by combining GLP-1RAs with insulin is associated with: • Weight loss • No increased risk of hypoglycaemia • Reduction in insulin doses
