Oral Semaglutide Lowers Cravings and Improves Metabolic Health in Type 2 Diabetes Patients: Study
A new study published in the journal Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research has found that oral semaglutide reduces total energy intake and changes in the food preference in patients with type 2 diabetes. Diet control is one of the most important management strategies for diabetes, but it is hard for many patients to resist cravings for high-calorie foods. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 RA, and it has been reported to be involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels and weight loss. This study was conducted by Junya H. and colleagues.
The study entailed analysis of data involving 75 patients with type 2 diabetes who received oral semaglutide. The main outcome was the change in the BDHQ score after a three-month period of treatment. Secondary outcomes included changes in the CoEQ, HbA1c, and body mass index, all within the same period.
Main Results
• Participants: The study included 23 participants whose age was at median 64.0 years old, with mean BMI at baseline of 26.9 kg/m², and HbA1c at the onset of 7.6% (59 mmol/mol).
