Ozempic (semaglutide) is typically prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes to help manage blood sugar levels. While there is no specific A1C threshold required to qualify for Ozempic, it is generally prescribed when:

  • A1C is above target: If your A1C is higher than your personalized goal (often 7% or higher), your healthcare provider may consider Ozempic.
  • Lifestyle changes and other medications are insufficient: If diet, exercise, and other diabetes medications are not effectively controlling your blood sugar, Ozempic may be recommended.

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine if Ozempic is appropriate for your specific condition and treatment plan.
