First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study followed 50 adults with type 2 diabetes who were already prescribed oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) by their doctor. Researchers tracked changes in blood sugar (HbA1c) and body weight over about 8-10 months. Participants also filled out a questionnaire about how they took the medication. The goal was to see how well the drug works in everyday life, not in a controlled lab setting.
