Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reductions, which reflect average glucose control over the preceding 23 months, become measurable at 1216 weeks, with maximal effects generally achieved by 6 months of therapy
Patients with significant kidney disease, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, or active pancreatitis should not use semaglutide
