is ozempic used for prediabetes

Ozempic (semaglutide) is primarily approved by the FDA for managing type 2 diabetes and improving blood sugar control. While it is not specifically approved for prediabetes, some healthcare providers may prescribe it off-label for individuals with prediabetes who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially if they have other risk factors like obesity.

• How it works: Ozempic helps lower blood sugar by increasing insulin secretion and slowing digestion.
• Effectiveness: Studies show it can reduce the risk of progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.

Always consult your doctor to determine if Ozempic is appropriate for your condition.
