is ozempic prescribed for prediabetes

Ozempic (semaglutide) is primarily prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes, but it may also be considered for individuals with prediabetes in certain cases, especially when there is a high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes. However, its use for prediabetes is off-label, meaning it is not officially approved by the FDA for this purpose.

• How it works: Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and reducing appetite.
• Eligibility: Your healthcare provider may consider Ozempic if you have prediabetes along with other risk factors, such as obesity or a history of cardiovascular disease.

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