I was on trulicity but had to come off it as I was violently sick

I am on this drug as well as metformin and gliclazide. Gliclazide puts weight on and Ozempic takes it off. I started on ,25 then ,5 and now 1mg. I lost half a stone in a month but found that I am very unwell. Very clammy, trembly and light headed. My diabetic nurse has brought forward my...

I was told to avoid fruit juice and eat the fruit instead. I had a bad reaction to Metformin (and everything else!) so I am on slow release. It takes time to get used to new medication and you do need to be near a toilet for a while with Metformin.

I am so sorry that you feel so ill. I had Trulicity and Projectile vomiting was not in it! It took me half a day to clean my bathroom! I have since seen a diabetic consultant and have had my medication changed. I am now on semaglutide injections and started with .25 mg for 4 weeks and I am now...

I am so glad that I read this post! I lived in Tripoli and Singapore when I was a child and have always loved the heat. However, since being diagnosed as diabetic, I do not tolerate heat at all. But, like you I only sweat on my forehead. Funnily enough, I don't feel the cold and in the depths...

Lots of hugs old Molly xx

I had a lot of nausea with metformin but was changed to slow release and it is much better now. I have the same problem with gliclazides so now have slow release with those too

I had a lot of nausea with Metformin and was changed to slow release which is much better. When I was put on Gliclazide, I had the same problem again and I am now on slow release with those too.

My downfall has been steroids when I have several asthma attacks close together. Also my diabetic doctor has me on medication that will aid weight gain even though she wants me to lose weight. I am being referred for a weight loss programme and would like to do Slimming World online if I can. I...

I am so sorry to hear that @lucylocket61. Sending hugs and sympathy and hope you get well soon

Hi @Adamspillman I am sorry you feel so ill. As @EllieM has said, there are other reasons for some of the things affecting you now. I feel tired all the time, my back aches if I stand as well as when I walk. My hands have days when they don't work well or not at all! I have medical conditions...

I will have my booster tomorrow and any other I may be offered, I am asthmatic, diabetic and have a heart condition . I am also over weight. I have had my flu jab.

Mine was 15.6 which is actually quite low for me at the moment! It is usually around 18 and has been as high as 29 and I do not know why. Help!!!!!

OK, thank you

Has gone fron 120 to 04 and is now just over 70
