Introduction To Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication that has been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing insulin production and reducing glucose production in the liver. It can also help reduce hunger and cravings, leading to improved glycemic control. Additionally, semaglutide has been shown to improve other components of cardiometabolic health such as weight loss, improved lipid profile, and reduced blood pressure. It is available in both injectable and oral form, making it an attractive option for patients who cannot or do not want to use injectables. When used in combination with lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, semaglutide can help people achieve better glycemic control.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which works by activating the GLP-1 receptors in the body. This activates a response that increases insulin production and reduces glucose production. It also works to increase satiety, or the feeling of fullness after eating, leading to reduced energy intake and therefore weight loss. In addition, semaglutide slows gastric emptying and improves glycaemic control. Semaglutide is typically taken once weekly as an injection under the skin using a pre-filled pen device. The dose needs to be adjusted according to individual patient needs.

Is Semaglutide Safe?
Like any medication, semaglutide has potential side effects and risks. However, when used as prescribed and under the supervision of a healthcare provider, semaglutide is generally considered safe and effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Overall, the benefits of semaglutide in improving glycemic control and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease may outweigh the potential risks and side effects. However, it is important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider and to follow their recommendations for monitoring and managing potential side effects.
How Long Do Results Last?
Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can improve glycemic control for up to one year in people with type 2 diabetes. In addition, semaglutide has been associated with sustained weight loss over a period of at least 68 weeks in some studies. The cardiovascular benefits of semaglutide have also been shown to persist over time. In the SUSTAIN-6 trial, which evaluated the cardiovascular effects of semaglutide, the reduced risk of cardiovascular events was sustained over a median follow-up period of 2.1 years.
