    Trulicity injection.

    Hi I started this thread just over a year ago. My weight dropped at first but is steady at around a stone lighter than before I started it. I have no side effects whatsoever and blood glucose levels are now at pre diabetes levels. It’s worked wonders for me.

    Trulicity injection.

    Hi. I have been on Trulicity for 26 weeks around 6 months and I don’t have any side effects and my sugars are so good, Doc wants to see if I can reduce strength or come off altogether! No major diet changes so it obviously works.

    Trulicity injection.

    Thanks. The depression is a long standing issue. However today has been better diet and mood wise. Baby steps. Blood glucose 5.5 this morning. Happy with that.

    Trulicity injection.

    Very true. My diet is bad and I am not exercising at present. I feel so depressed and ill that I have zero motivation. Catch 22 situation.

    Does metformin & Trulicity cause extreme tiredness/ depression?

    Thank you. I think I will go and get checked out. They are not massively high. But lately I haven't been eating healthy foods. I ate half a tub of Hagen Daaz ice cream yesterday! I just felt that ill and miserable, it was a total f@@k it moment. I was doing ok even getting 5.6 fasting and...

    Does metformin & Trulicity cause extreme tiredness/ depression?

    Ok so I have had poor mental health most of my life. I suffer from repeated episodes of depression. However since being on metformin and more recently Trulicity injection I am always tired. Not just normal tired but can sleep all day and night tired. I feel as though my body is totally...

    hypo and no meds?

    That's not massively low, probably dehydration. Plus we as diabetic are so used to higher sugar, we feel it more when it's on the low side. Drink more water and enjoy your holiday.

    Trulicity injection.

    I am still suffering from a sore throat, doc wouldn't give anti biotics but now it's getting worse and I can't seem to fight it off. Other than that, things are ok. Bg levels still hovering around 6.5- 7 so much better than before I started Trulicity. Hoping if they stay down, the infections...

    Type 1 - ESA?

    I claim carers for my boys, both have ASD I am still made to go to the job centre every few months for a work assessment, which generally ends in me crying through frustration. I am lucky that I get DLA for my eldest but it makes me feel **** each and every time I go.

    Trulicity injection.

    Oh no! I am pinning my hopes on Trulicity as nothing has worked in the past. I am always ill as it is and my diet isn't fab as I have depression and don't deal with life well when I am down.

    Trulicity injection.

    Hey. I am taking my 3rd dose tomorrow and I feel good now. The first week was awful, nausea and extreme tiredness but it has quickly settled down and I don't really have any side effects other than feeling full quickly. (Which is a bonus.) Haven't lost any weight but also haven't put any on...

    Anyone Less than 40?

    It makes me mad when people think it's just a lifestyle disease. Surely if people are diagnosed at 17 it can't be? I know my diet hasn't always been fantastic but I haven't always been overweight and it's only the last 10 years where I have struggled to keep the weight off. I am hovering...

    Review with DN

    I take 500mg slow release metformin at night and that was enough to make me poop 3-4 times every single day. I put up with it but it wasn't pleasant. I am on taking Trulicity with the metformin, it seems to be working well. Because the Trulicity slows down digestion I have returned to normal...

    Trulicity injection.

    Had my second injection and so far so good. Very little nausea. Still a bit tired but manageable and I don't feel like I want to eat loads. I actually feel full and satisfied from a smaller meal. Hoping it continues in this way. Blood sugars are around 6.8 first thing in the morning, (seems...

    Anyone Less than 40?

    I am 36, got diagnosed last year. Had gestational diabetes with my now 5 year old and my level didn't go quite back to normal. My hb1ac was 68 earlier this year so I have been given Trulicity injection.
