GLP-1 is also produced by pancreatic islet cells and neurons within the NTS of the brainstem.56 The peptide is rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 into GLP-1 amide and subsequently cleared renally, resulting in a short half-life of approximately two minutes.47 Activation of the G protein-coupled GLP-1 receptor increases intracellular calcium concentrations within pancreatic islets, thereby promoting insulin exocytosis

Severe symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as an event with symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another person and associated with either a blood glucose below 50 mg/dL (56 mg/dL in the 5-year study and 36 mg/dL in the ORIGIN study) or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration
