Just started Trulicity

Good morning and good luck to both of you. I always had a weight problem too .Trulicity certainly helped with losing weight but adopting and sticking to a medium/low carb diet for five years was the real game changer for me. Bringing down the blood readings was the best result for me. That certainly decreases the worry of complications when you've had diabetes for a long time. I wish something like low carb or drugs like Trulicity had been available when I was in the early years. But the long term control has certainly helped me keep away from any really nasty complications.......so far!!!

I’ve been on Trulicity for two years now, because Metformin wasn’t playing well with my IBS, and I’ve found it brilliant overall. I was a bit squeamish about the injections at first, but the pen is very fast and it’s a lot easier to remember something once a week, rather than every meal. I was a bit nauseous the first week or two that I started on it, but it passed off soon enough. My diet went to hell working through the last lockdown, though, and I’ve just had my dose upped, while I try and get the weight back down again. It did get my Hba1c down from over 100 to 45, though (currently 50).
