CASE STUDY: Rocker who can enjoy life again thanks to DM2 compensation p.o. semaglutide and better lifestyle
Diabetologist MUDr. Lucie Radovnická from Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem illustrates the case of her patient − a sympathetic rocker who enjoys life including concerts, beer, and good food − demonstrating how modern antidiabetic treatment with oral semaglutide in combination with thorough lifestyle re-education can achieve very good diabetes compensation and overall health improvement. One of the many benefits of this modality was the possibility to discontinue sulfonylurea derivative medication, which previously caused severe hypoglycemia.
The case study is supplemented with a clear explanation of the current conditions for basic and increased reimbursement of oral semaglutide − the costs of this therapy using the protective limit are now very acceptable for a considerable portion of patients who can benefit in many ways. General practitioners currently have the option to prescribe oral semaglutide at basic reimbursement. The advantage of early initiation of treatment lies in delaying the development of complications associated with DM2 and postponing the need for further intensification.
