Abstract

In a study of 314 patients, a statistically significant mean change in HbA1c of -2.2 % points was observed after 30 weeks of treatment with once weekly subcutaneous semaglutide.

  • Patients had a mean age of 55.5 years and an average baseline HbA1c of 9.0 %.
  • At the end of the study, 62.1 % of patients achieved an HbA1c level below 7 %.
  • Patients experienced an estimated mean weight loss of -9.0 kg.
  • Fasting plasma glucose decreased by an average of -4.1 mmol/L.
  • A weight reduction of ≥ 3 % and ≥ 5 % was noted in 88.3 % and 73.3 % of patients, respectively.
  • No new safety concerns were identified during the study.
