Yes, Ozempic (semaglutide) can help manage prediabetes. It is primarily prescribed for type 2 diabetes but has shown benefits for individuals with prediabetes by improving blood sugar control and promoting weight loss. Here’s how it works:

  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Ozempic helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucose production in the liver.
  • Weight Loss: It can aid in weight management, which is crucial for reducing the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.

However, Ozempic is not FDA-approved specifically for prediabetes. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine if it’s the right option for you.
