I am very pleased with the way in which Trulicity has brought down my blood glucose levels, however a comment made by my nurse made me think. She informed me that the way in which the drug works is to ‘squeeze’ my pancreas to produce the insulin needed to manage my glucose levels.
I understand that the amount of insulin in my pancreas is finite and that at some point it will ‘run out’.
Is what my nurse told me correct and if this really is the case has anyone done any work to find out how long this can take? I suppose that it will be different for each individual but I’m thinking that there will be a trend.
I am not unduly concerned but I am interested to find out what people think and know.
Thanks
