[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2056016, member: 345386"] Sean - Obviously I don't know all about you and any specific challenges you might face, and nor does anyone else here, but the bottom line is if you don't want to take the meds on offer, the chances of your compliance with any regime involving it will be poor. That's human nature, and why it is important to understand and "embrace" any regime. I have no idea which other options have been tried, but a while ago I attended a presentation from a hospital consultant in T2, who stated that whilst insulin is a very useful and invaluable tool for treating T2, in the correct circumstances, but there are over 400 (yes, 400) combinations of meds available to tackle T2, before insulin. If I were in your shoes and Trulicity didn't float my metaphoric boat, I'd want to fully understand the rationale for focusing on that particular choice of treatment, and how that is preferred to other options. Sometimes once we understand the rationale to a recommendation it makes a compromise more compatible, but if not, it makes it clearer what our argument against it might be! Does that make sense? Of course, going back to absolute basics of reviewing diet, testing and record keeping makes all manner of sense whilst in this period of uncertainty. [/QUOTE]
