How is this related to weight loss / How does this help with weight loss?
Ozempic can be used by people who have got type 2 diabetes which helps them to lose weight. This works because people with type 2 diabetes produce the needed amount of insulin required, however their body does not accept it for some reason, so therefore Ozempic works differently for them. For type 2 diabetes, It works by reducing the person’s appetite so that they eat less and feel less hungry. It also controls the speed of the movement of food in your gut and makes it slower, so therefore the person will feel full for longer periods of time.
