Understanding Ozempic: A Comprehensive Guide and Its Impact on Diabetes Management
Ozempic, also known by its generic name Semaglutide, is a prescription medication that is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It's a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it works by mimicking the functions of the natural hormones in your body that help regulate blood sugar levels.
Ozempic is not insulin, but it is designed to work alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to manage blood glucose levels. It is administered once a week via an injection under the skin (subcutaneously) and is available in two dosages: 0.5 mg and 1 mg.
Ozempic helps to control blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion process, reducing the amount of glucose that your liver produces and releases into your bloodstream, and helping your pancreas produce more insulin when needed. This results in lower blood sugar levels and helps manage the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

In fact, there are many lifestyle changes that can be made to help you shed pounds and stay healthy. The exciting news is: They do not require too much time out of your day.
