Diabetes management

Sir, my fasting blood sugar was 144. I have now strictly controlled my diet, and my fasting level has come down to 115. I would like to know if my blood sugar won't come down to within the 100 range; however, I do not do any exercise.

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?
