Postprandial glycemic control is crucial for optimal management of type 2 diabetes, with the gastrointestinal tract playing a significant role. Various strategies, such as slowing gastric emptying and stimulating the incretin hormone GLP-1, have been proposed to modulate gastrointestinal function and improve postprandial glycaemia.
Postprandial glycemic control is an important target for optimal type 2 diabetes management, but is often difficult to achieve. The gastrointestinal tract plays a major role in modulating postprandial glycaemia in both health and diabetes. The various strategies that have been proposed to modulate gastrointestinal function, particularly by slowing gastric emptying and/or stimulating incretin hormone GLP-1, are summarized in this review.
