The invention provides a GLP-1 dimer, a preparation method therefore and an application thereof. The GLP-1 dimer is formed by two GLP-1 monomers containing cysteine connected via a disulfide bond formed by cysteine. The general formula of the GLP-1 monomer containing cysteine is 7HAEX10T FTSX15V SSYLE X22X23AAKEFIX30W LX33KGR G37; wherein X10 is aglycine or cysteine, X15 is aspartic acid or cysteine, X22 is glycine or cysteine, X23 is leucine or cysteine, X30 is alanine or cysteine, X33 is valine or cysteine, and only one among X10, X15, X22, X23, X30 and X33 is cysteine. The GLP-1 dimer in the invention has an in vivo half-life of more than 8 to 96 hours, thus greatly facilitating clinical promotion and application.
