Liraglutide increases insulin sensitivity without causing weight loss: Study(Image by Steve Buissinne from Pixabay )Insulin sensitivity refers to how sensitive cells are to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. Increased insulin sensitivity indicates that insulin can reduce blood glucose levels more efficiently. Click hereType 2 diabetes is characterised by decreased insulin sensitivity or insulin resistance. Improved insulin sensitivity can therefore lower the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes or enhance therapy. Future research will focus on potential mechanisms of how GLP-1R agonists are improving insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss."
