Trying to understand my insulin options after starting new medicines

I've been trying to understand how weekly insulin fits with other diabetes medicines.

I keep seeing discussions about semaglutide, tirzepatide and newer treatments, but I'm not clear whether people can use these along with weekly insulin or if they are usually alternatives.

For people who have experience with combinations of diabetes medicines, how did your treatment plan change over time? Did adding another medicine change your insulin routine?

I'm interested in understanding how people approach these decisions and what questions they asked their healthcare team.

I had the same confusion because online discussions often make it sound like you choose one medicine or another. My understanding is that treatment plans can involve different combinations depending on the person's situation.
