Really hope it workout for you Roseanne001. I've stopped using Trulicity for the moment, I was struggling with the side effects. Lets us how you get on. x

I'm sorry, I have no experience of this but wanted to offer a congratulations on your pregnancy and fingers crossed for your treatment. I'm sure someone with some useful advice will be along soon.

In the very early days, I was eating very little. I was finding it very difficult as I like to run a few times a week and was in training for a race. Managed to let my BS levels go a bit too low. I did wonder if it was worth it, but it made me stop and think about what and when I was eating...

I've been on it for about 4mths now and like you, seeing some great improvements. I haven't suffered from binge eating disorder, but hopefully, the habits that you are building now will support you if the effects start to wear off. I thought I had got passed the 'just eaten a 3 course meal'...

Sorry Sal, for some strange reason, I hadn't seen your reply. All good here, although I am noticing that I don't feel so full all the time, I'm managing it and keeping food intake in check. BS levels seem good. Going for a review next week so will keep you posted.

How are things going now Sal?

I think it will be 6.7 Sal, I have attached the chart that I used to convert.

Just back from an appointment with the DN. HB1AC in May was 63, today it is 50. I am a very happy bunny!

fingers crossed for you- let us know how you are getting along x

Glad its working for you too Sal. I'm 9 weeks in now, I still have some nausea but I agree a cuppa in the morning and it tends to fade. I've lost a stone so far so really happy.

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer. You are right in that its not insulin based so potentially yes.

Hi, I started taking Trulicity in July. I felt pretty rough the 1st week or 2, very 'full' and nauseous with very little appetite. I struggled to exercise in the beginning ( I run 2/3 times a week). Things seem to have settled now though. I get full easily- which tbh was a side effect I was...

I'm meant to be starting Trulicity this weekend, but I was wondering if yo ahem used it, what side effects you noticed and how quickly they occurred? I am taking part in a 5km run on Sunday and would like to avoid any issues half way round. Thanks

Thank you johnpol. Its good to hear how others managed it- I have to say, I hadn't heard of this way of managing diabetes so its a new one for me. Hope you are happier with your current meds

Just back from an appointment at clinic, and I have been offered to start using GLP-1s. I think I understand what they will do, but would love any first hand experiences, hints, tips etc..TIA

Hi, and thank you for your reply. Its good to know what thats happening is what should be happening. Lots to think about and take on board. I have heard about HIIT training and the positive reactions to it- will have a look and see whats available locally- thanks

Thank you, lots to read through, but really helpful. I'm so grateful for the help and support.

Thank you, and again some really useful information. Its good to understand whats happening from people like yourself who are either experiencing the same or working with people who are. I will start testing 2hrs after running as well and see how that goes. I can't say that I'm loving the...

Great ideas, thanks. I have been running a lot on my own, and have recently joined a local club. This means I am running in the evening rather than the morning, hence why I am getting in a pickle with my food. However the group atmosphere is helping to keep me focused. Swings and roundabout eh!

Thank you for getting back to me, what you say about the insulin resistance makes sense, so will bear that in mind. The carb advise is helpful as well. I have to honest, I wasn't aware of the risk of DKA when taking Forxiga, but will also bear that in mind. Fortunately, I drink plenty during...
