Recommended Action
Management		When a GLP-1 receptor agonist is used as add-on therapy to basal insulin, a lower dosage of insulin may be required. Blood glucose should be monitored closely, and patients should be counseled to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and tachycardia. If hypoglycemia occurs, patients should initiate appropriate remedial therapy immediately and contact their physician. Patients should also be advised to take precautions to avoid hypoglycemia while driving or operating hazardous machinery. Concurrent use of GLP-1 receptor agonists with prandial insulin has not been studied and is generally not recommended.
