Semaglutide also effectively treats people with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar control. Semaglutide has a similar structure to the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). When we eat, GLP-1 is released, increasing insulin release, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. As a food intake and appetite regulator, semaglutide mimics the hormone GLP-1. By doing this, you will feel full sooner which will help you eat less and lose weight.

Dr. Rojas is determined to help you develop and maintain a healthier lifestyle that meets your needs.
