[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what's your A1C? Because, yes, this medication should be managed by a real doctor, not some joker playing one on the interwebs. Diabetes is a serious disease.[/quote]

This is the weight loss forum. Zepbound and Wegovy are for weight loss, not diabetes. [/quote]

They are absolutely for people with diabetes.

They help lower that AIC and insulin production is important ......[/quote]

You're thinking of Ozempic, no?  Zepbound was formulated specifically for weight loss and is not FDA approved for diabetes. [/quote]
Also, OP specifically asked about semaglutide - that is the ingredient. Ozempic and Wegovy are the branded medications. So OP is asking about one of those. Zepbound/Mounjaro are a completely different medicine - terzepitide (or something like that, I probably spelled it wrong).

Before you correct people on the internet, make sure you know what you are talking about.[/quote]

Well, the PP states in her response that Zepbound is for diabetes, for starters. And if you’d read my response, that is precisely what I addressed in my response. It’s not for diabetes. So, I believe I do know what I’m talking about when I corrected them on the internet [/quote]

I don't know which person you are here, but someone said "You're thinking of Ozempic, no? Zepbound was formulated specifically for weight loss and is not FDA approved for diabetes." which made it sound like you were equating Ozempic and Zepbound, which are two different medications with two different ingredients. Ozempic = semaglutide and yes, Ozempic is prescribed for diabetes. Wegovy is the same ingredient (semaglutide) and is prescribed for weight loss. Similarly, Mounjaro = terzepitide and is prescribed for diabetes. Zepbound is also terzepitide and is prescribed for weight loss. Hope I helped you out there with your misunderstanding, PP![/quote]

Nope.  Someone said "zepbound and wegovy are for weight loss, not diabetes" and someone else responded "they are absolutely for people with diabetes!"   That prompted me to respond that I bet they actually meant Ozempic, because Zepbound IS specifically for weight loss, NOT diabetes.   So I'm actually specifically pointing out their core difference, which is the opposite of equating them.  My response was not argumentative in the slightest- I was just correcting the poster that zepbound wasn't a drug for diabetes.  Do you have any additional questions, or....???[/quote]
