What exactly does Ozempic do inside your body? In this video, we take a closer look at how **Ozempic (semaglutide)** works and why it can help lower blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic is a **GLP-1 receptor agonist**, meaning semaglutide mimics some of the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1. We’ll explain how Ozempic can: • Help the pancreas release insulin when blood glucose is elevated • Reduce the amount of glucagon released by the pancreas • Help lower blood glucose levels • Slow stomach emptying • Reduce appetite, which can contribute to weight changes in some people • Work through multiple signals involved in blood sugar regulation We’ll also explain why Ozempic doesn't simply "remove sugar" from your blood—and how insulin, glucagon, the liver, digestion, and appetite are all connected. Ozempic is administered as a **subcutaneous injection once weekly**. **Important:** This video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice. Ozempic is a prescription medication. Do not start, stop, or change your medication or dose without speaking with your healthcare provider. If you take Ozempic—or you're considering treatment for type 2 diabetes—understanding how the medication works can help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare professional. **Subscribe to Rehealthify** for clear, science-based health and diabetes education. #ozempic #semaglutide #type2diabetes #diabetes #glp1 #bloodsugar #insulin #glucagon #diabeteseducation #rehealthify
