> self-medication using drugs that should be for diabetics

Except it’s literally approved to treat obesity by the FDA

Hardly my fault if the FDA is one of the most notoriously incompetent safety administrations I've seen in my life. Additionally, approved or not, self-medication is an absurdly stupid thing to do, and most users of it did not go through a doctor for it.

It’s obviously not your fault that the FDA approved a drug.

But it is your fault for saying wrong information.

It’s also not self-medicating as, in the US at least, it must be prescribed by a doctor.

Can you share your background with regards to pharmacology, drug regulations, biochemistry and drug safety that back up your claim?
