can pre diabetics get ozempic

Yes, Ozempic (semaglutide) can be prescribed to individuals with prediabetes under certain circumstances. Ozempic is primarily approved for managing type 2 diabetes, but it may also be considered for prediabetes if the patient has additional risk factors, such as obesity or a high risk of developing diabetes. However, this is typically off-label use, and the decision should be made by a healthcare provider based on the patient's overall health profile.

• Eligibility: Prediabetics with a BMI ≥30 or ≥27 with weight-related health issues may qualify.
• Purpose: Ozempic can help improve blood sugar control and promote weight loss, which may reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.

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