Can't it help with getting treatment for it? At least here in the US you have to justify everything as medically necessary or your insurance won't cover it.
Anecdotally my mom is obese and was getting glp 1 for a while but she doesn't any more because the insurance said it wasn't necessary to treat her borderline diabetes and they stopped covering it.
Hearing/reading how it is in the US, it won't change much of anything. They will still decline it
