GLP-1 programs: best fits from our first review

What each program actually costs, what's included, and the fine print worth reading before you sign up.

You said you'd rather not inject. Both programs below are injection programs. We're reviewing non-injection options now and will add them here.
You said you'd expect to use insurance. Both programs below are cash-pay. Check with your insurer before you start, since coverage can be cheaper if you qualify.
