is ozempic for prediabetes

Ozempic (semaglutide) is primarily approved by the FDA for managing type 2 diabetes, but it is not specifically approved for prediabetes. However, some healthcare providers may prescribe it off-label for prediabetes, especially for individuals at high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.

• How it works: Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and reducing appetite, which can aid in weight loss.
• Effectiveness: Studies have shown that Ozempic can improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals.

If you have prediabetes, consult your doctor to determine if Ozempic or other lifestyle interventions (e.g., diet, exercise) are appropriate for you.
