[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2399153, member: 365308"] I think you have done really well and the results are clear in your fat loss and reduced hba1c. The next goal could be getting under the diabetes bar (48) and then under the pre diabetes one (42) so that you don't end up with complications. Hopefully you are in a better position now to march on with the dietary tweaks you've made. It is a dietary disease so it makes sense to me that you should, regardless of medications, carry on with diet changes. I know that trulicity is a medication which helps your body send out little amounts of insulin when you eat and only then so I think the idea is that your system isn't flooded with insulin. This might help you lower your hba1c a little but doesn't tackle the root cause of your diabetes which is insulin resistance causing excess fat around your liver and pancreas. Reading side effects on medication packages is always scary (read the side effects of commonly used painkillers!) so not saying these meds are unsafe. Its just worth suggesting alternative strategies with your nurse or at least asking on average how many hb11c % points did patients like you drop by using the medication? [/QUOTE]
