Their primary mechanisms of action include: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner, which helps lower blood sugar levels with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone (though risk increases when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas) Suppressing glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, reducing hepatic glucose production Slowing gastric emptying , which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals Acting on appetite centres in the brain , particularly the hypothalamus, to reduce hunger and food intake These combined effects result in improved glycaemic control for people with diabetes and significant weight loss
