Do I need blood work before starting semaglutide?
Semaglutide & GLP-1 weight loss information for Atlanta and Georgia.
Most semaglutide weight loss doctors order basic labs before starting treatment—often including A1C, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function, lipids, and sometimes thyroid tests. This helps confirm eligibility, rule out contraindications, and provide a baseline for tracking your health improvements over time. Follow‑up labs may be repeated every 3–12 months depending on your situation.
