GLP1 is an incretin hormone that increases insulin and decreases glucagon (the hormone that signals hunger), which decreases blood sugar. Gastric emptying is also delayed, causing signals to be sent to the brain that the stomach is full.

Semaglutide is indicated for:

Controlling blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
Reducing stroke, heart attack, and death in patients with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease
