The present invention relates to the field of metabolic compound conjugates, methods of forming said conjugates and uses of these conjugates in the treatment of diabetes and conditions related to this condition. The metabolic compound conjugates of this invention include a metabolic peptide having a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor binding motif for action on a GLP-1 receptor and at least one oligomer conjugation site for binding with at least one oligomer, wherein the oligomer includes a polyethylene glycol moiety (PEG), and/or alkyl moiety.
