(Figure 1) The observed ~2% HbA1c reduction in both arms is clinically meaningful and aligns with outcomes seen in global semaglutide trials
For higher-risk patients, repeat FBC and iron studies (serum ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation) at 3-6 month intervals may be appropriate
Benjamin Scirica, a co-author of the study, said patients who received semaglutide in his study had a 29% reduction in deaths from causes not related to cardiovascular events, noting that weight did not appear to be a "major mediator" in the results
Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool
If you forget to refrigerate semaglutide but catch the mistake within a few minutes and the medication has not been exposed to heat, it can be returned to the fridge without issue
