What kind of diabetes does ozempic target?



Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, is a medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes. This is stated on the official Ozempic website [1]. Semaglutide works by mimicking the functions of a natural hormone in the body to control blood sugar levels [1].

Although Ozempic can help people with type 1 diabetes by lowering their blood sugar levels, it is not specifically approved for type 1 diabetes treatment [2]. The drug's prescribing information, available on the FDA website, states that Ozempic is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes [3].

It is important to note that Ozempic should not be used as a substitute for insulin in individuals with type 1 diabetes [3]. Patients should consult their healthcare providers to determine the most appropriate treatment for their specific condition.
