Yes, that's right. The media has talked a lot about the off-label use of Ozempic for people who don't have diabetes and who just want to lose weight. Ozempic was designed for people living with diabetes. It not only brings about weight loss, which is beneficial to the diabetic state, but also helps improve insulin release. The underlying diabetes is improved from two angles in a kind of virtuous cycle. That's what makes it such a miraculous drug. Weight loss begets better diabetes control, and the drug begets better insulin supply. That's why it's such a wonderful drug.
