I have pcos and want to ask for ozempic

I'm 84kgs, 167cm. I have pcos ever since I was 12 years old. I tried dieting and exercising like going gym for more than a year and whatever I would lose through strict diet I would gain back in months despite my gym. I have been doing this for 5 years now and when I lose little weight I gain back despite being in calorie deficit. I got my blood work down and my insulin is 31 which is on higher side, also my liver enzyme GGTP is 54 on higher side and TSH is 5.2 and triglyceride is 186. I want to lose weight even if I need medicine for that and continue physical exercise along with it to lose weight so will I be allowed or will doctors allow me to take GLP-1 meds like ozempic for weight loss and treating my health?

Urgent issue about my Diabetes Type 2

I have done hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic on 6 June 2026, it was 5.8 (FBS - 106) . Again on 21 July 2026, I did Hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic and result is 5.5 and FBS - 115. I doubt these both results because of below mentioned points :- 1. I am diabetic type 2 patient from last 4 years. 2. I have taken treatment only once in last 4 years when my Hba1c was peak at around 11.7 in June 2025. I have taken medicines from June 2025 to October 2025 and stopped medicines when my Hba1c was 5.5 and FBS - 98 as per doctor's advice. 3. From June 2025 ( When my treatment was started ) and till now, I am on very strict diet as required for diabetics mangement. 4. But from last 1 month, I think my symptoms has started showing again like urge for pee every 1-2 hours, urge for pee in midnight, itching on foot. Etc. Please help me out about what should I do next because test results are not matching with symptoms.
