What is Semglutime?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 peptide like medications. These type of medications have been used for over a decade in treating type 2 diabetes. They found type 2 diabetics secrete less GLP-1 than normal individual. This creates a cycle of eating when they should be full and worsening there diabetes.
