Summary:Background The aim of the present study was to compare the reported efficacy and safety of glucagon‐like peptide‐l receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) and insulin glargine (IGlar) for poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. Methods Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov were carried out. References and cited papers of relevant articles were also checked. Results Seven trials met the inclusion criteria. GLP‐1RA showed equivalent or superior efficacy to IGlar for reducing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), with a greater proportion of patients achieving HbAlc
