Is anyone else talking Wegovy for heart disease?

Is Wegovy a replacement for taking Repatha? I did notice, since I've been on Repatha since Feb or March (switched from Praluent due to insurance) and my sugar last month has now risen to pre-diabetic and every bone in my body is hurting.... wondering if it's the Repatha??? That's the feeling I had whenever I tried every single statin on the market. However, finally, the Praluent and Repatha injections brought my #s down immediately. I'm going to ask my cardiologist about Wegovy.

I started with Repatha and had to switch to Praluent for insurance coverage and then had to switch back to Repatha for insurance. I did notice my sugar went up and asked the doctor to request Praluent again for me and just started Praluent again. Hopefully the sugar has gone down. Also considering Wegovy, (have 4 cardiac stents LAD) but I had no idea it could "replace" the Praluent????

That was my fear on Repatha and why I got off. I certainly don’t want diabetes caused by a medication
