Message: <blockquote data-quote="LadyFlame" data-source="post: 2487884" data-attributes="member: 510527"><p>I was put on trulicity it gave me agonising stomach pains and a blocked colon,(Shown on an ultrasound and yet I was not told it could be trulicity causing this) at the 6 months mark I had shingles all over my face and body. I have stopped taking this but now my blood sugars are out of control, I suspect down to the shingles which are ongoing another outbreak last week. I do not believe I should have been put on this drug as I have medical conditions that contraindicate it. My bloods were well controlled between 5.3 and 6 for over 15 years. This medication is known to cause shingles and the aftereffect of shingles is an inability to control blood sugars. I have to ask how can a GP who takes a hypocritic oath justify putting diabetic patients on a medication that can cause shingles when it is an established fact after shingles you have uncontrolled blood sugars. I am to say the least disgusted. There were also other side effects but those are the worst, this medication should not be licenced for prescription my reasoning is if it is known to cause shingles and shingles cause uncontrolled blood sugars it is utterly unethical as well as dangerous to put diabetic patients on it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
