Thanks for the tag @EllieM . I was on Victoza til early this year when I could no longer get it, similar to most GLP1 injections. I’m now on Rybelsus which is the tablet version of Ozempic.

Edit for clarity.

Hi, how have you found Trulicity? Have the serious side effects of thyroid cancer worried you? I've just been put on it but am extremely anxious....
