Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar is high and suppressing glucagon secretion when blood sugar is low.
Benefits of semaglutide:
Some signs and symptoms that may indicate semaglutide deficiency include:
If experiencing any of these symptoms, semaglutide hormone testing is recommended to accurately determine deficiency levels.
Accurately diagnosing and monitoring semaglutide levels requires specialized hormone testing:
Testing should be conducted by an experienced hormone and anti-aging physician like those at the Vitality Hormone Center . They use cutting-edge diagnostics and precision testing methods to provide patients with a customized semaglutide treatment plan based on their unique hormones profile and needs.
| Test | Normal Reference Range |
|---|---|
| GLP-1 | 12-106 pmol/L |
| HbA1c | <5.7% |
| BMI | 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 |
| Waist Circumference | <102 cm (men), <88 cm (women) |
Abnormal test results warrant consideration of semaglutide therapy. Treatment should be overseen by a qualified hormone specialist to ensure proper and safe administration.
If testing confirms semaglutide deficiency, hormone replacement therapy can help restore optimal levels. Treatment options include:
