Just FYI, I'm taking my GLP-1 RA every six days instead of every seven, and have had no problems. Just because the clinical trials tested every seven days (for very logical reasons -- I would have done that, too) doesn't mean that it's the best answer for everyone. That being said, if your insurance is covering it, they will balk at a six-day cycle, so you may need to talk to your pharmacist and doctor about doing a box occasionally on private pay to sync it all up.
And yeah, the single-dose injectors are annoying from a variety of perspectives, and in fact, are not necessarily used in other countries, as I understand it. But hey, it's not an aspect of this that is under our control, right? So it's just another thing to roll with.
