New diabetes pill shows promise in Real-World study
NCT ID NCT05755360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 291 adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar was not well controlled on their current medication (DPP4i). Participants switched to an oral version of semaglutide, a drug that helps lower blood sugar and may aid weight loss. Over about 5-6 months, researchers measured changes in blood sugar levels and asked participants about their eating habits and diabetes-related well-being. The goal was to see if the switch improved diabetes control in everyday medical practice.
