Hi Guys Just wondered if anybody had one of these machines that massage your foot and leg to improve blood circulation? I get very tingle, hot feet and jumpy legs at night, sometimes it looks like im in the middle of a football match! Driving my poor husband nuts! So Im trying to find...

That is really really helpful. Thank you. I spoke to the GP and he has agreed that I should come off the Trulicity as of now. He is going to give me a ring next week to check to see how I’m doing. It will only be about 17 days from my last dose but I’m so hoping things will be improving by...

Yes, thank you, I guess its not really advice I want, just reassurance that other people have had these symptoms and have felt better when they came off it. I am definetly going to take myself off it what ever anyone says. I have tried it for 11 months and as I said it was previously...

Good Morning Everyone. I really need some help. I have been on Trulicity now for months. When I first started the side effects were not good, but I seemed to be able to control it with eating small and often meals and knowing what days were going to be worse than others. However, over the...

I’ve also been on it months. I have a constant battle with chronic diahrrea which my GP says is IBS! Why I would develop that at 65 I don’t know and weird it started the same time as the trulicity. Most days I just feel in with body pains and headaches. The diahrrea is getting worse and...

I have been on trulicity for probably about 18 months and get all those symptoms, constant headache, body aching, I seem to have permanent diahrrea. GP kept saying oh it’s IBS. Why would i suddenly develop IBS at 65? Yes weight and BS definetly gone down. But I’m now thinking all these...

I have been on trulicity for probably about months and get all those symptoms, constant headache, body aching, I seem to have permanent diahrrea. GP kept saying oh it’s IBS. Why would i suddenly develop IBS at 65? Yes weight and BS definetly gone down. But I’m now thinking all these horrible...

I dont think they should be making it look like its coming from this site though, thats naughty.

I have just had an email from supposedly Diabetes.co.uk. When I clicked the link as I always do when I get notifications it came up with the normal looking site, but was full of adverts and the main headline was about Diabetics passing a BM more than once a day being more likely to suffer from...

Good Morning everyone, wondered if you can help. I am type 2 diabetic. I am currently taking metformin, forxiga and have a weekly injection of Trulicity. I dont have any problems with any of these, after the intitial side effects of newly starting them. They keep my sugars at a good level...

Hi Everyone. Its a while since Ive posted on here, but I know how helpful you can all be. Sooo 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I had an operation, treatment of radiotherapy afterwards, quite intensive for three weeks and then 5 years of tamoxifen. All my mammograms since then...

Hi, I also get tingling in the toes, and sometimes this goes up my lower leg. I spoke to my GP who prescribed gabapentin for "restless legs" I have to say it normally works, but it does make me feel groggy the next day. Hope this helps.

I have high cholesterol and the consultant from the Lipid Clinic suggested it to my Diabetic Nurse. She says that she has many of her patients on it and it has worked wonders for them. Losing weight and bringing sugar levels down. She also said that scientific studies show that it brings down...

Ive read the info sheet that came with the injections and it says that 1 in 10 people can be affected the way I am, but that these should ease?? Just not sure what that means and how long it takes. The first week was fairly bad and then the second week injection has been pretty horrendous tbh.

Hi, I have been on Trulicity for two weeks now and its completely ruling my life. I have one injection per week of 1.5 mg I have constant diarrhea, stomach pains, flatulence and indigestion. I have definetly lost weight in the two weeks and my sugars have come down, but this could be mainly...

Hi, I have been on Trulicity for two weeks now and its completely ruling my life. I have constant diarrhea, stomach pains, flatulence and indigestion. I have definetly lost weight in the two weeks and my sugars have come down, but this could be mainly because of being scared at what I am...

Thank you for your reply, after googling in the night and seeing the terrible reactions people have to this drug and as you say not seeing much beneficial evidence I stopped it today. In fact a couple of the people who reviewed it called it the Drug of Satan! because they had ended up in...

Thank you I will spend some time researching this all and not just take the 'experts' word for it. I have enough drugs that I have to put into my body for the diabetes, blood pressure. They have asked me to get more active and take this Ezetimibe, which in theory sounds marvellous until you...

Thank you so much for your wise words. You are echoing exactly what my husband has said. I did not take it this morning and I am going to inform both the hospital and the diabetic nurse that I am not going to go back on them as they make me feel so awful. Again, thank you.

Hi, I have type two diabetes and my diabetic nurse was concerned about the 'bad cholesterol' I have. I cannot take statins as they make me very poorly. I was referred to a lipid clinic at our local hospital and was then prescribed Ezetimibe tablets. 10mg one a day. I haver now been on them...
