Study finds 70% lower Alzheimer's risk for Type 2 diabetes patients on semaglutide.

A study from Case Western Reserve University indicates that semaglutide, found in diabetes medications Ozempic and Wegovy, may lower Alzheimer's disease risk in Type 2 diabetes patients.

While promising, further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms involved.
