My wife is a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump/continuous glucose monitor. Her doctor prescribed injectable Ozempic to help her lose weight. It works, but it not without side effects. It does curb appetite, but it also delays dumping of stomach contents. She has had a few episodes of low blood sugar between 45 and 55. She consumed glucose to increase her blood sugar to a safer level. The sugar just sat in her stomach because of the Ozempic. We almost had to resort to a nasal rescue spray with glucagon to trigger release of stored sugar. That is always on hand like a CCW in a bad neighborhood.

I can tell you a drug that works for weight loss. I use it for autoimmune issues. Low Dose Naltrexone. Doctors also prescribe it with Wellbutrin combined in a pill. I don’t take it that way. I chop up a 50 mg naltrexone pill to .5 doses or less. If you want it for autoimmune issues but can’t get the Rheumatologist to prescribe it you can ask for it for weight loss from a primary care physician

I cant say how it would interfere with diabetes but here is a good video on how it works

by the way, good thing I didn’t take any of the wellbutrin because it is heavily involved in the CYP2d6 P450 issues.
