Wegovy and Type 2 diabetes

I used to source Saxenda privately for my diabetes + weight loss. It worked brilliantly at a low dose: I lost weight and maintained the loss, and my sugars were great. My diabetes nurse was happy for me to use it instead of Metformin.

Since having to fall back on Metformin (because of supply issues), my weight and sugars have increased.

Wegovy seems to be the only alternative practically available. Has anyone any experience of how it interacts with blood sugars? Low sugars are a potential side effect. I want mine to be lower, and of course I test several times a day so wouldn't let myself get too low.
