Diabetic patients taking semaglutide were found to be four times more likely to develop the condition than those not on the medication.

While the drugs are intended for Type 2 diabetes, their off-label use for weight loss has exploded, leading to concerns about side effects like pancreatitis and stomach paralysis.
