[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people curing their diabetes with Ozempic? Are people curing their obesity with it? Or are they just taking it for the rest of their lives, at a significant cost, only to succumb to the devastating health effects of diabetes and obesity.[/quote]
So, to my understanding, the idea is that the Olympic helps lower the AIC blood sugar and also helps reduce obesity. These two things can help avoid complications of diabetes. So I think the idea is to avoid the devastating complications, which is much cheaper than hospitalizations and things like that.[/quote]

I think the label actually does a good job explaining the Mechanism of Action. Requires some extracurricular reading, but this paragraph sort of sums it up: Semaglutide reduces blood glucose through a mechanism where it stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion, both in a glucose-dependent manner. Thus, when blood glucose is high, insulin secretion is stimulated and glucagon secretion is inhibited. The mechanism of blood glucose lowering also involves a minor delay in gastric emptying in the early postprandial phase.
