    Trulicity/dulaglutide

    Hi there! I have been on Trulicity for 5 weeks now. I'm now on 1.5mg. I have experienced some side effects too. Feeling sick, no appetite, awful diarrhea, headaches, and eggy burps. I'm finding Trulicity helps with my blood sugars for a few days then they are out of control again. I hope you...

    I had my first injection of trulicity yesterday and my gliclazide was increased to 8 40mg tablets.

    I haven't seen my renal consultant since before covid. Had a phone call or two, but it's no where near as good as face to face if I'm honest. As far as I can remember being diagnosed, I was told oh you have type 2 here is some tablets. No glucose monitor or anything.

    MY gp doesn't really care by the sounds of it. I hate cake thankfully, but it's easy for them to tell me to deal with side effects and just get on with it. I was fuming that day! But I'm suffering from boils/abscesses again and my legs are in so much pain :(

    I already have an endocrinologist, haven't spoke to them since last year, and haven't seen them face to face since December 2019. My fear is the spike in sugars is affecting my kidneys. I already have ckd stage 3b
