You could try eating more fiber (beans, fruit, etc) it’ll help naturally increase GLP-1 (same as ozempic) but without the cost and side-effects. You also most likely have a Leptin issue (fiber helps with this as well). I urge you to both look at Leptin and GLP-1 with relation to fiber and or therapies that will help you resolve your hunger issue. There’s adequate scientific literature to support eating more fiber helping these two, but you might need pharmacological therapy if changing your diet would be too disruptive. Lastly, you’re doing great and individuals who are overweight but exercise will live longer than skinny people who don’t. Hope that helps.

You’re correct. Saturated fat intake increases LDL (atherogenic kind, e.g. the “bad”) cholesterol, there’s even a nice formula for it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25286466/
As a fellow T1D. Please, please utilize your endocrinologists free samples, your local JDRF, or order insulin from Canada. I’ve been in similar situations and it’s awful, but in the US, we unfortunately are at the mercy of an inhumane system. You should hoard supplies like no tomorrow, because you never know when you or friends might need help. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
