GLP-1 RA

According to Trujillo et al (2021), Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP 1 RA). GLP 1 receptor agonist medications are used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), lowering weight and A1C. They also have a low risk of hypoglycemia. Even though Semaglutide has not been associated with an increased risk of diabetic retinopathy, Wang et al (2022) urge caution when using semaglutide for diabetic patients with long diabetes duration and older diabetics.

What does Ozempic do?

Ozempic helps people suffering from type 2 diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels with a once-a-day injection. Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, also known as GLP-1 RA, meaning that it is NOT insulin. GLP-1 is a natural hormone released by the body after you have eaten, and by using Ozempic you will be providing your body with a simulation of this hormone that can reduce blood sugar and help to prevent cardiovascular conditions such as a heart attack (Tadarro et al, 2023), strokes (Husain et al, 2020), and heart disease. Ozempic stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, lowering fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels.
