Asking for Mother, Female, 45 years old, Nowshera
My mother has been a hypothyroid patient for the past 15 years and is on regular thyroxine treatment. She is obese with a BMI of 33, and her recent HbA1c is 6.1% . Her cholesterol and uric acid levels are normal. Can she start weekly semaglutide injections for weight loss and diabetes prevention, and what precautions, baseline tests, and starting dose should be considered before initiating treatment?

Yes, she needs to lose weight to bring down her BMI around 25. However, before starting Semaglutide, her pre-assessment is essential and proper evaluation of lifestyle and diet plan etc. You can book your appointment through Marham for online consultation or a clinic visit.
I can help and guide you properly

What is your mother's age ? What other medical issues she have ? Is there any history of gallbladder stones ? Is there any other significant history in the past ? likely your mum will qualify, but to be very honest, she will require proper consultation with Obesity consultant .
