Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for improving blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes and for chronic weight management in obese adults. It is in a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that is released after eating. It slows digestion, helps control blood sugar levels, and makes you feel more full. It also decreases appetite and food intake which can lead to weight loss.
Benefits of semaglutide:
Semaglutide is sold under the brand names Ozempic® and WegovyTM, but it can also be compounded into customized doses and formulations. Compounded semaglutide offers more flexibility in dosing and can be more affordable than the brand name versions.
Hormone deficiencies can negatively impact blood sugar regulation, metabolism, appetite and weight management. Two key hormone deficiencies related to diabetes and obesity are:
Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas that allows cells to use glucose (sugar) for energy. Insulin deficiency occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to insulin. This causes high blood sugar levels.
Symptoms of insulin deficiency include:
Treatment involves medications that increase insulin availability. Semaglutide improves insulin secretion and decreases insulin resistance.
Leptin is the "satiety" hormone produced by fat cells that tells the brain when enough food has been consumed. Leptin deficiency disrupts signals of fullness and leads to overeating.
Symptoms include:
Treatment may involve leptin administration. Semaglutide mimics leptin's effects to reduce appetite and promote weight loss.
Correcting hormone deficiencies like these are key to managing diabetes and achieving long-term weight loss success.
