To be eligible for Ozempic (semaglutide), your A1C levels typically need to indicate diabetes or prediabetes. Here are the general guidelines:

  • Diabetes: An A1C of 6.5% or higher is usually required for a diabetes diagnosis, which may qualify you for Ozempic.
  • Prediabetes: An A1C between 5.7% to 6.4% may also be considered, especially if you have other risk factors like obesity or cardiovascular disease.

However, the final decision depends on your healthcare provider, who will consider your overall health, medical history, and other factors. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
