Clearing the way: Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are proving a potent weapon in the treatment of type II diabetes. A new vitamin B 12 –GLP‐1 conjugate is investigated and shown to have insulinotropic properties similar to the unmodified peptide. These results are critical to the exploitation of the vitamin B 12 oral uptake pathway for peptide delivery.
