There are times when I'm not so forgiving of the medical team who are supposed to be helping me get well. I get more useful advice from this and other forums. So, after trying a drug called Victoza for six months, prescribed by the diabetic specialist, for a metabolic problem I have (my body is defying the first law of thermodynamics - Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same.)
However, after six months of severe constipation, indigestion, constant burping, and a bill to the NHS of over £100 per month I decided to stop, after talking to my GP who agreed with me, it wasn't doing what it was supposed to do and causing other symptoms.
I've now been informed that they would like me to try Trulicity and was wondering if anyone has experience of this drug which is obviously helping with BG levels but more importantly for me how does it affect weight?
One of the things I found with Victoza which was very good at keeping BG under control, I found that I was more tempted to eat things that I would not have done normally, like bread and potato.
