    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.

    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.

I had really horrible hiccups that I could not stop. I had gas continually. And then on top of it I’m not sure what body part if it was intestines or something else where they literally rolled and flipped the doctor that prescribed it is on vacation but the one that took her place tell me to stop taking it until she gets in contact with me when she gets back. Also, pens can be faulty when I was on the 1.5 mill the whole month of pins did not work one week it actually sliced about 1/4 inch of my skin.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    So, it only reduces A1C by 1.5, after how long taking it? And then what? How do you continue to reduce it? It all seems to come back to personal decision of your food choices and exercise, right?

    I am searching for someone who is going through this. I am about to switch to Trulicity from Ozempic because of insurance. I had to adjust to Ozempic but since then it has worked so well. 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.

    @@mikeinfinity2005 Yes, I daresay it is. With my diet standardized, I now get sick (bloating, some nausea, etc) only during what I guess is the weekly peak of the Trulicity action (3rd and 4th) days. This has been the pattern for the last 3 weeks or so. Any slip ups in the eating department, the drug promptly puts me in place withing an hours or so! 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 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.

    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.

    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.
