Graphical Abstract

Highlights

  • In Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2, dulaglutide demonstrated great improvements in glycemic control with mild body weight reduction and low hypoglycemia risk.
  • The results indicate that dulaglutide is effective and safe in patients with T2D and lower BMI; therefore, BMI should not be a consideration when dulaglutide is prescribed to Chinese patients with T2D.
