    Rybelsus or Mounjaro - advice please

    I decided that Mountjaro doesn't sound like my idea of nice. So to rid my self of a few stones and get my type2 in remittance I am on a low-carb, reduced calorie diet - meal replacer in a sachet. I could go for Michael Mosely's and that food in that book is no hardship, really nice recipes...
