Summary

This study compares weekly semaglutide injections to a calorie-restricted diet in 100 adults with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Over 12 weeks, researchers will measure changes in blood sugar, weight, inflammation, and liver fat. The goal is to see which approach works better and understand the underlying molecular mechanisms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

semaglutide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that semaglutide is more effective than dieting alone for controlling blood sugar and reducing liver fat in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (Phase 4) study with only 100 participants over 12 weeks. Results may not apply to everyone, and semaglutide can cause side effects like nausea or vomiting.
