Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Liraglutide.

    In adults with type 2 diabetes, pooled GLP-1 receptor agonists (including liraglutide) were linked to lower all-cause mortality in observational cohorts.

    Sixteen studies included 285,436 T2DM patients exposed to GLP-1 RAs (exenatide bid, liraglutide, lixisenatide, long-acting exenatide), n ranged from 219 to 160,803 patients.
