GLP-1s have been studied for diabetics for 20 years; they are safe. My side effects are no worse than from the metformin I've been on for 10 years. The side effects I have/may develop from my diabetes (fatty liver disease, kidney disease) and obesity (high blood pressure, dyslipidemia) are worse.
As a diabetic diagnosed 20+ years ago, I was offered mounjaro but decided instead to completely cut out sugar, seriously reduce carbs, and do intermittent fasting (meals at 10.00, 13.30, and 18.00. I'm eating loads of lovely food, blood sugar is down A LOT, and losing 1/2 kg per week v. easily.
