ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a woldwide pandemic and currently represents one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality for health care systems. Associated complications are frequent, progressive, severe and costly. Although currently available treatments have diverse mechanisms of action, none of them modify the physiopathology of the disease, so the pancreatic beta cell degeneration progresses inexorably and some of them can be associated with several adverse effects including hypoglycemia, weight gain, gastrointestinal effects and peripheral edema. New medications based on effects on incretins favorably reduce glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c), induce weight loss and have a low risk of hypoglycemia. Liraglutide is the first type 1 glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analogue approved for once daily administration. The LEAD
(Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes) study program results have demonstrated its favorable effect on A1c, with sustained weight loss and a low risk of hypoglycemia, evidenci ng a favorable metabolic profile for effects on lipids and systolic blood pressure. Also, its use can be initiated since the earliest stages of the disease and combined with any antidiabetic regimen. The following article thoroughly reviews the LEAD program and the most current evidence available for this innovative treatment option for DM2.
