Is there an actual real risk of blood sugar dropping too low, like real hypoglycemia, on a GLP-1 medication?

GLP-1 medications on their own have a relatively low risk of causing hypoglycemia, since their blood-sugar-lowering effect is somewhat self-regulating. The risk increases meaningfully when combined with other blood sugar-lowering medications, like insulin or sulfonylureas, which is why dose adjustments to those other medications are sometimes needed when starting a GLP-1 medication alongside them.
