'Type 2 diabetes has become one of the greatest challenges facing the NHS. These latest results are hugely encouraging
It works by stimulating the production of insulin and suppressing f the glucagon and lowers appetite.
Over 600 given semaglutide orally monitored over 26 weeks.
As well as the weight loss benefits, reductions of up to 1.9 per cent on average of HbA1c -
Nearly nine tenths of patients receiving oral semaglutide achieved the target HbA1c level of less than 7 per cent.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for the running of clinical trials. Before any new medicine can be used to treat people in the UK, it goes through a strictly monitored development process.
