In patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes on SGLT-2 inhibitors, adding semaglutide significantly improved HbA1c and reduced body weight compared to placebo, though it was associated with an increased frequency of gastrointestinal side effects.

In patients with type 2 diabetes, weekly subcutaneous semaglutide significantly reduced HbA1c and body weight compared to dulaglutide at similar doses, though it was associated with higher gastrointestinal side effects.
In patients with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin, adding semaglutide significantly improved glycaemic control (HbA1c reduction) and weight loss compared to placebo, though it was associated with more gastrointestinal side effects.
RECENT
In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), once-weekly semaglutide significantly increased the risk of developing nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) compared to non-exposure, doubling the five-year hazard ratio (HR), though it was associated with improved glycaemic control and other cardiometabolic benefits.
