I have been taking Trulicty for a while now and I swear it works great, EXCEPT I hate the side effects. But I will put up with them because it is saving my life. My blood sugars are about 100 or less. My A1C last time was 6.0 percent. I am losing weight slowly.

Fantastic video, both content and production quality. Just started Trulicity yesterday, and it appears to have really stabilized the rate of change of sugars (much less roller coaster effect). Keep up the good work!

So helpful. I was just prescribed Trulicity injection by my doctor I didn't know how to use it. I didn't asked my doctor question because I thought this is the same way as insulin. I was wrong. But thanks God I get your information. That was easy and fun. Thanks again. I gave a thumb up and you have a new subscriber.

Thank you! I started Trulicity today and was flying "blind"; you answered all my questions! I really appreciate it!

Great video. It really gave me a better understanding of how the medication works.

I’ve been on Trulicity .75 for about 4 weeks now. Little to no side effects. Occasionally I would get a nauseous feeling but if I eat something it goes away.

I’m someone that is very sensitive to medications and side effects but amazingly the only minor side effect I had from Trulicity was slight nausea after eating for about an hour and then it went away.

I've just started on Trulicity again after three months, it's really hard to get at the moment. I found that eating less reduces the nausea, I think it's because food stays in the stomach longer. It has a positive effect on my food bill. I shop just a little less often. Though I find it difficult to finish a loaf of bread, I only get half way through before it goes mouldy. I have to freeze half of the loaf when I bring it home. Also when I stopped while it was unavailable my weight went up really fast and I was tired all of the time, no energy at all. There is no way I could stay on my feet for nearly eight hours like I did today. My blood sugar was nearly 16 yesterday before I injected, it's dropped to 10 today and still falling. It would be nice to see the green light on my meter again. Now, I hope I start losing weight again as fast as I did before and keep losing it. I lost about 15kg while on it last time.

How has your weight loss been now

I've had diabetes for several years. Have been taking Atorvastatin, Metformin, Glipazide and Lisinopril. Lately, I'm having trouble controlling my blood sugar and don't want to take insulin. I hate the idea of sticking myself every day with insulin so I tried Trulicity a couple of years ago and it didn't seem to help my a1c but after seeing this explanation, I'm ready to give it another try.

Thank you for a great and informative video. Enjoyed watching.

This was an excellent video! I just started taking Trulicity today after taking a combination of metformin, glipizide and Lantus (insulin) . My doctors and I want to see if we can reduce the number of meds I take daily. They've stopped the insulin for now. Keeping our fingers crossed!

I recently been prescribed for this medication and it's working very successfully for my diabetes!!! First of all you need to change the way you eat and respect the fact of being a diabetic and you will see much improvement in your health as I did weight loss and I'm feeling totally fabulous . Yes I totally agreed about the side effects I get a little nauseating and the medicine doesn't allow me to over eat it decrease my appetite thanks for sharing this video

Thanks for the video, it has really put my mind at rest, I've only started injecting trulicity so it is very early to see any significant change,you have answered all my questions, linking forward to a near normal life,keep up the great work you are doing

Great video. I am taking a different GLP-1. I will be changing to Trulicity since insurance will support. I wish that I could cut dose in half twice a week. This is how my doctor and I reduced side affect of my other GLP medication.

How long does it take for Trulicity 1,5 to take effect? this is my 5 week my glycemy is 150 in the morning without food

PA David your videos. One question? Any studies on using combination of SGLT@ and Glp1 at the same time?? It seems that gaining the advantages of both therapies would help both A1C and morning fasting

Excellent review, thanks

Do you have any updated videos on Trulicity? I am looking at the comments and they are 2-3 years old. Also, I thank you for your explanation of this med, I have been afraid to inject the medication prescribed, since I have never had to do this before with any other med. This video encouraged me and took away the fear of using the Trulicity. Thanks for all the info, the only thing I didn't hear was the best time of day to inject.

I just started Trulicity and Lantus. I had my first Lantus shot last night and my first Trulicity shot this morning. I agree that I definitely like the Trulicity better as it is very easy to take. Now we see how the side effects go. I did have a very small amount of nausea afterward. Thank you for the video!

Perfectly good blog doc...thank you doc

Hi. I love your videos. I used Bydureon with Metformin. I could not get under and A1C of 7 mostly cause of my diet, but Bydureon along with walking, got me down to 5.2. WOW. And of course, now they have discontinued it. I had NO side effects while taking it. What in your opinion would be me a replacement with the same kind o weekly dose medication??? Im not that familiar with the history of these other pens. Why do they get rid of the things that work?? Claims it was a business decision???

very details explanation, thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for your video. Today was my first time using Trulicity. I was so scared🙄🙏🏽🙏🏽 Im so grateful for your video. I get over my nervousness. Thank you!

I get a small red itchy spot at injection site (quarter size) like a hive. It comes up at day after injection and the progression with itching lasts another 24 hours. Thereafter, the reddening stays but no long itches. Redness resolves by the time I need another. I think this is called a mild allergy side effect, but it is annoying and my doctor says I need to stop. She prescribed Ozempic but Medicare does not cover that down to affordability. Do you have experience with people who get this sensitivity reaction and do they continue on Trulicity without increase in allergy? I have tried using Benadryl with it and did not affect it.

Im currently using it and its definitely worth a shot.

Hi thank you so much for these educational videos. I do have a question. My doctor wanted me to use Ozempic but at the moment I do not have insurance so trulicity has become available to me and I can afford it. But I really want to use the ozempic, would there be an issue switching from trulicity to ozempic when I get my insurance back?

Thank you! When my doctor prescribed Trulicity to me, I asked if I should let it warm up before injection. She said she didn't know, and to ask my pharmacist. My brother had to pick it up, and did not ask this. I have seen a different doctor since then, and she also said she did not know, and ask my pharmacist. Because I did not know whether to let it warm up , I have been taking it out and letting it warm up while I take a shower. I guess I should continue this, but I will be asking my pharmacist anyway.

I'm on my second month of trulicity .75. The first month every thing was fine but this new box seems particularly "stabby". Last Friday it left a bruise on my stomach and when I did my thigh today it's a pretty tender with a slight bump. Is this just a calibration issue or fluctuation between boxes? The medication did inject.

good info about room temp before injecting,thanks.

Did you make any changes to your diet? Type 2 Diabetes is a dietary issue. Try lowering your carb intake. I keep mines to around 30 carbs a day and my A1C fell from 11 to 6.3. Diabetes is just too many carbs for your body to process resulting in too much sugar in your blood. Current treatment of diabetes focuses on the symptoms (high blood sugar) and not the cause (large number of carbs). Best of luck to you managing your diabetes. Check out "Beat Diabetes!" video on KZread.

I did not feel a prick did u have to press the pen hard against your skin

I was started on the 0.75 dose after 4 weeks there was no real effect (in conjunction with Metformin and Januvia). My provider increased to the 1.5 dose. I did see a slight change in my daily glucose numbers. The injections were very simple with the device. I tended to have more of a startle reflex when pushing the activation button (compare to opening a can of refrigerated biscuits) then pain. After two weeks on the dose and midway through third week severe side effects hit (vomiting, diarrhea). My provider and I couldn't rule out food poisoning (recent travel questionable restaurant) so we tried the 4th dose after those effects wore off. This dose took "severe" side effects to the next level. I don't say this to scare anyone. My take-away is my provider and I probably could have gone a few more weeks at the low dose which may have started to show improvement as well start showing side effects at lessened intensity. For me this was not the GLP of choice. (As a side note we did rule out pancreatitis the vomiting and diarrhea brought some abdominal pain...with the use of Januvia needed to check-negative.) Hope this is helpful. New to your videos but they very informational! Thank you.

All my bloodwork has been fantastic and I feel great. I am just worried switching will make me go through the adjustment or new side effects again and lose all the progress I had made. Ozempic was working and did what it was supposed to do. Lower my A1C, drop my glucose levels, I'm off 5 other meds too. Some weight loss as well but not the biggest deal. I hate the fact that I have to rely on some insurance company to just mess with my hormones in the space of 30 days and not my own doctor because I can't afford to go from a co-pay to $1100 a month.

Hi Doctor, First of all, absolutely loved this video. I live in Australia and I was started on the 1.5mg/0.5ml Trulicity about 6 weeks ago in conjunction with Januvia, Jardiance and Rosuvastatin. From what I gather, I am among the unfortunate few that get to experience the seemingly brutal side effects of Trulicity and yes, I have lost weight as well. I am trying to soldier on as I think the severity and frequency of these side effects are decreasing although quite slowly. I also am trying to standardize my diet as I personally find the side effects worsen with carb rich and sometimes fatty and spicy food. So basically this drug is forcing me to start eating what a diabetic should be eating anyway since I have no real will power to do it otherwise. Like strong patches do to a chain smoker trying to quit. But this is also causing constant tiredness, lethargy and admittedly some strong mood swings. It is affecting my work and thinking straight for any extended period has become difficult. From your experience with your patients so far, how much longer (roughly) may it take for the body to get used to Trulicity and I can get on with life as "normal"? Thanks in advance.

So, yes it is much better but I will hardly call it normal. But then again, as a diabetic of many years I guess "normal" is very subjective.

Why did your doctor put you on such a high dose to start with? I am a 74 woman who’s AIC was getting to be pre- diabetic and my weight was going up - so my endocrinologist wanted to put me on Trulicity - I was hesitant because I react very easily to meds - but he started me in .75mg. And I am on my third week . I have not experienced any side effects and even no loss of appetite- that I feel one still needs to use self- control . I think your doc should have broken you in slowly . By the way, one thing good about living in a third world country like the Philippines is there are many expert professional doctors who you can consult with any time the need arises . Anyway, I hope your side effects are getting better.

I lost 40 pounds taking .75 mg. I’ve been on it for about 9 months. People ask if I am sick. I would like to gain weight but have been unable to do so. I also take metformin and Jardiance. A1C is around 8. Recommendations?

It helped me a lot ❤

This video was very helpful n less scary in getting the injection myself. Ty

I am deafblind, I have seen Insulin pens and, to be honest the Trulicity pen looks far more blind friendly! I am looking forward to starting it next week, I shall come back and tell you how I go

I love this my ins would not cover ozempic so I wasn't sure how good trulicity would be, side effects were not bad and I lost 5 lbs also brought down my a1c. The only thing is wake up before using it. I accidently left the cap on the bottom once and the medication went all over. Super easy to use and if you let it warm up and make sure if you use alcohol it is dry first to avoid sting, you don't even feel it go in.

Thank you very much

I have chronic nausea & GERD, & take Ondansetron Omeprazole for it daily. Some of my natural nausea/digestive aids are organic vinegar (w/the "mother"), kombucha, ginger & mint (in various forms). I'm wondering if Trulicity might be inhibited/not as effective somewhat because of those things?

@Inevid

I'm glad you found the video helpful as you embark on your journey with Trulicity, especially considering your experience with Lantus and your kidney health concerns. Metformin and its usage in individuals with kidney disease is a topic that requires careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare provider. While Metformin is generally considered safe for most people with diabetes, its use in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires close monitoring. In your situation, where you already have CKD, it's crucial to discuss the potential risks and benefits of continuing Metformin with your doctor. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific medical history and current condition. Depending on the stage of your kidney disease, they may recommend adjustments to your treatment plan or alternative medications that are safer for your kidneys. Remember, your healthcare team is there to support you in making the best decisions for your health. Don't hesitate to reach out to them with any questions or concerns you may have about your medications and their impact on your kidney health. Wishing you all the best on your health journey.

What time of the day do you suggest

I tried trulicity a week ago Sunday and everything seems okay no problem with diarrhea as I anticipated. But Tuesday night I woke up scratching my neck and noticed some large red welts on my neck that where painful because of me scratching in my sleep. I am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic( June 25,2020) 67 year old female with a history of insulin diabetes on my mother's side. I called my doctor and was told to stop the trulicity and continue with the other insulin drugs I was put on. It took four days to clear up the itching and welts on my neck with the help of Benadryl and anti-itch cream. I'm a little afraid to start the trulicity again. Please tell me if this is a common allergic reaction and if I should try the trulicity again? Thank you.

Your symptoms are definitely consistent with an allergic reaction. The cause of the allergy is always the question. Could be the Trulicity, could be any of a number of other possibilities. I can’t give definitive advice on whether to try the Trulicity again, but if you are interested in trying it (in case it wasn’t the Trulicity), definitely discuss it with your healthcare provider, as this decision warrants some guidance.
