GLP-1 agonist treatment: implications for diabetic retinopathy screening

Lakshminarayanan Varadhan et al. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

Rapid improvement in glycaemic control induced by GLP-1 agonist therapy could be yet another illustration of transient or permanent progression of diabetic retinopathy, similar to documented examples such as pregnancy and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Specific guidelines would be needed to monitor this paradoxical phenomenon during treatment with GLP-1 agonists.
