Hi boycat19Hi artfuldodger
I started using Trulicity on 23rd June and have been feeling nauseous ever since and my acid reflux is awful in the morning.
My BG has been really good for me, a stable 10 for 3 days now. I haven’t taken any Novo Rapid all week either but I still take 60 units of Tresiba every evening. My appetite has diminished but I’m barely eating as everything makes me feel sick so no wonder I’ve lost some weight.
I’ve told my DN I’m not having another injection as I cannot tolerate the side effects but she said I could take an antiemetic so I’m going to see the doctor about that.
From what I’ve read the nausea can subside after two weeks but since I already have delayed digestion I can only keep my fingers crossed. I love the fact the Trulicity proves my pancreas is capable of producing its own insulin which inspires me to continue loosing weight.
I’d love to know of anyone else suffers such side effects?
Thanks
Hi artfuldodgerHi boycat19
The side effects you described are exactly the same as I am going through but slowly getting better with time I only started on trulicity two weeks ago but have noticed the difference in my blood readings much better and have been able to slowly lower my Nova rapid injections levimer injections still same 160 units per day I am going to push on and keep using the trulicity as I have also been told the side effects will subside good luck and stick with it keep me up to date on how you progress

Hello @diannasharpe - you've responded on an old thread, but I just wanted to give you a reply. There are some more recent threads discussing trulicity that you may find useful. Just put trulicity in the search box at the top and check the dates on the results that come up.Hi I have been on it for five weeks.
