[QUOTE="CMDG, post: 2532824, member: 553392"] [B]Starting Trulicity [/B] Since being prescribed a whole host of new medication for dilated cardiomyopathy (heart failure), my diabetes type 2 has become very difficult to control. After 22 years of first metformin and then the addition of gliclazide the cardiologist prescribed dapagliflozin. The GP's referred me to the local Community Diabetic Service (CDS) because they didn't want to prescribe dapagliflozin. Their referral was rejected as inappropriate! Gliclazide was restarted and eventually dose doubled by GP who simultaneously referred me back to the CDS for "nutritional advice"? Appointment eventually arrived. Must admit I was not in the best frame of mind when I arrived for the appointment. I'm a walking calorie counter and use Nutracheck to help weight loss so consider myself nutritionally well educated. Much to my surprise, there had obviously been some discussion prior to my arrival as with no preamble it was proposed I should start Trulicity - a weekly injection. My weight loss stopped when my Gliclazide dose was doubled, despite considerable effort so was pleased to hear that weight loss was a side effect of the drug but with some other nasty side effects, which hopefully diminish time. I already inject myself fortnightly for an inflammatory arthritis so another injection - no problem. I'll post my experiences once I get my hands on the prescription! [/QUOTE]
