38The defect is asymmetric: GIP-mediated insulin secretion is lost disproportionately, whereas GLP-1 responsiveness is better preserved, though also impaired. This asymmetry is clinically important: it explains why GLP-1-directed drugs work as monotherapy in type 2 diabetes whereas GIP-directed drugs do not, and why the later addition of GIP agonism to GLP-1 monotherapy produces further benefit.{{r|nauck2018}}38The defect is asymmetric: GIP-mediated insulin secretion is lost disproportionately, whereas GLP-1 responsiveness is better preserved, though also impaired.

+40In type 1 diabetes, the incretin effect is preserved in those with residual beta-cell function, suggesting the lesion in T2D is beta-cell-intrinsic rather than a defect in hormone secretion or action at the receptor level.
