[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2144819, member: 506169"] Hi Murphymycat, Congratulations, 12lbs weight loss in 2 weeks sounds a huge amount, perhaps even too much in such a short time. From a quick glance, the side effects of Trulicity (dulaglutide) don't sound too bad compared to other diabetes medications. The potential appetite suppression could be seen as a bonus. I don't want to rain on your parade, dulaglutide has been tested in mice over the long term ( 24 weeks for mice) and shown that it appears to have a protective ( or at least no worsening) function of the Beta cells of the pancreas - unlike metformin or the Sulfourea class of diabetes drugs which in layman's terms wring out all the Insulin production possible from the Beta cells ultimately leaving them incapacitated so the patient has to ultimately switch to Insulin injections.[B] But I didn't see any study backing this up in humans (yet). [/B] By the way, for many Type 2 diabetics anything containing Apple would not exactly be considered 'Low Carb', though Blackberries are not as high. [/QUOTE]
