Ozempic® has been proven to significantly lower blood sugar and A1C.
Ozempic® lowered A1C better
A 40-week study compared Ozempic® 0.5 mg with Trulicity® 0.75 mg and Ozempic® 1 mg with Trulicity® 1.5 mg in 1201 adults with type 2 diabetes who were taking metformin.
Average change in A1C
The most common side effects of Ozempic® may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation.
In the same study, Ozempic® helped more people reach an A1C goal of less than 7%.

of people with a starting A1C of 8.2% who took 0.75 mg Trulicity® lowered their A1C below 7%
VS
65%
of people with a starting A1C of 8.3% who took 0.5 mg Ozempic® lowered their A1C below 7%
63%
of people with a starting A1C of 8.2% who took 1.5 mg Trulicity® lowered their A1C below 7%

Ozempic® was shown to help people lose more weight than these type 2 diabetes medicines.
Ozempic® is not a weight-loss drug. It is a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that, along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar.
People lost more than double the weight on Ozempic® vs Trulicity®
Results are from a 40-week study that compared Ozempic® 0.5 mg with Trulicity® 0.75 mg and Ozempic® 1 mg with Trulicity® 1.5 mg in 1201 adults with type 2 diabetes who were taking metformin. While many people in clinical trials lost weight, some did gain weight. Ozempic® is not a weight-loss drug.

Are you struggling to lower your A1C goal with insulin alone?

Ozempic® may cause serious side effects, including low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your risk of getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use Ozempic® with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include: dizziness or lightheadedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, and feeling jittery.
