Semaglutide is an innovative glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin production and reducing glucagon secretion. Unlike other GLP-1 drugs, Semaglutide has a longer half-life, allowing for convenient once-weekly dosing, leading to better medication adherence and consistent glycemic control.
Overall, Semaglutide, along with diet and exercise, can effectively lower A1C and fasting blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes.
With powerful A1C-lowering and additional health benefits, Semaglutide can transform diabetes management.
