What is Semaglutide?
an injectable medication which, when used in combination with diet and
exercise, helps with blood sugar control in type 2 diabetics. Semaglutide belongs to a class
of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the hormone
GLP-1 in your body to lower blood sugar IeveIs after you’ve eaten a meal.
What is the hormone GLP-1?
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that causes huge effects on the regulation of
blood sugar by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Insulin is a hormone that
promotes sugar uptake by the cells, stores sugar as glycogen, promotes the building of fat, and
signals the body to build skeletal muscle.In addition, GLP-1 inhibits glucagon release (which
slows down the release of sugar into the blood so that you burn more fat), slows down gastric
emptying (makes you feel full), and lowers the desire for food intake (because you feel full).

Frequently Asked Questions
GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide help to control your blood sugar, but people taking them
also tend to lose weight. GLP-1, the key hormone involved, slows down how fast your
stomach empties food (called gastric emptying). And in addition to causing your pancreas to
release insulin, Semaglutide also blocks a hormone that causes your liver to release sugar
(glucagon). Together, these functions can help you feel less hungry, causing you to eat less
food and lose more weight.
Yes, itʼs believed that Semaglutide helps curb your appetite. In addition to slowing gastric
emptying to make you feel full longer. GLP-1 also plays a direct role in how appetite is
regulated.
With Semaglutide, you will slowly work your way up to the target dose at which time you will
see the most amount of weight loss. This was the case in the clinical trials, where participants
had their dose adjusted until they reached 2.5 mg dose if needed. In the phase 3 trial that
measured outcomes at 20 weeks, most participants were able to reach the full dose and also
lost weight as their dose was increased. They saw additional weight loss over the remaining
48 weeks at the full dose. It is important to keep in mind that weight loss can take time, and
you’ll see the best results when you are using your medication in combination with a healthy
diet and exercise. Sometimes the medication may not work for you, or you may not be able to
tolerate the full dose due to side effects in which case your practitioner will provide additional
options or change the protocol to better suit your individual needs.
