Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, Endocrinologist

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication used to manage Type 2 diabetes, but it is not a cure. Here’s what you need to know:

  • How Ozempic Works: It helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon production, and slowing digestion.
  • Reversal vs. Management: While Ozempic can significantly improve blood sugar control and may lead to weight loss, it does not reverse Type 2 diabetes. However, it can help some patients achieve remission, where blood sugar levels remain normal without medication.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Combining Ozempic with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can improve outcomes.

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on managing Type 2 diabetes.
