Non-insulin Ozempic works with your body’s own ability to lower blood sugar and A1C. Ozempic is designed to respond when your blood sugar rises, helping your body to release its own insulin.
What is Ozempic®?
Ozempic® (semaglutide) injection 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg is an injectable prescription medicine used to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by improving blood sugar levels when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Additionally, Ozempic® is prescribed to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes who also have known heart disease.
It is important to note that Ozempic® may not be suitable for individuals who have a history of pancreatitis or those with type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, its safety and effectiveness in children under 18 years of age have not been established.

Lowering A1C levels is crucial in managing type 2 diabetes. Alongside this, it is essential to address the risk of major cardiovascular events, especially if you have existing heart disease. Ozempic®, in combination with diet and exercise, has been clinically proven to enhance blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. For individuals with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Ozempic® not only improves blood sugar levels but also reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like stroke, heart attack, and death. Additionally, some individuals may experience weight loss while using Ozempic®.
Ozempic® provides powerful A1C reductions
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that most adults with type 2 diabetes aim for an A1C level below 7%. Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine the most appropriate A1C goal based on your individual health needs and circumstances.
