Potential Benefits of Oral Semaglutide When Initiated Early

8 out of 10 patients achieved glycemic target of <7%
when oral semaglutide is initiated within 1 year of
T2D diagnosis
1 in 3 patients achieved a glycemic target of
<6% and weight loss of > 5% when initiated
within 1 year of diagnosis
>50% of patients achieved pharmacological remission
when oral semaglutide was added to their existing therapy
within 10 years of T2D diagnosis
More patients on GLP-1RA therapy maintained glycemic
targets of <7% when initiated early compared to other
OADs

Goldenberg R et al. Can J Diabetes. 2021; 45(7):S28-29
Early Initiation of oral semaglutide within ≤1 year of T2D diagnosis resulted in a high proportion of patients achieving glycaemic targets, including near-normal
HbA1c, as well as composite endpoints for glycaemic control plus weight loss.
