Now been taking Trulicity (lowest dosage) along with Farxiga for 3 weeks - do have slight lost of appetite and lost about 10 lbs but now my morning numbers are over 200. Wondering if the 2 are counter acting with each other? | M | 63 | 3 weeks 1X W | 10/30/2023 | 5 | T2 Diabetes | Side effect in first 2 weeks was some nausea ,some gas, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no constipation or other. After 2 weeks no side effects for a long time and A1C 11 down to 6.5, lost weight that is noticeable which was a good thing and still losing. Only 1 incident of bad constipation about 2 months ago lasted 4 days difficultly getting anything out it resolved on 6rh day. I got comfortable and ate too much of greasy and surgery foods which I know caused the problem. Got back on track right away and still feeling good ,no symptoms and doing well. People get sick because they don't change eating habits and type of foods and eat way too much thinking Trulicity will do magic. No, no I say that user error is why people fail on this drug. | Trulicity is not magic. People need to change at least some eating habits and definitely need a good diet. | F | 54 | 10 months 1.5 1X day | 9/30/2023 | 3 | Get A1C down | Constipation | F | 64 | 30 days 1X W | 9/26/2023 | 1 | Diabetes | I got pancreatis from this drug not a good drug be forewarned and read the pamphlet never been so sick in my life the doctor took me off of it and I'm still waiting to feel better | F | 74 | 0 years 1X day | 8/22/2023 | 4 | A1C and appetite control | I experienced zero side effects with Trulicity, as opposed to Ozempic which made me sick to a point where I couldn't function.

I started with the lowest dose just to make sure my body could handle it, and I've already loss 11lbs. I attribute my success to also working out 3xs/wk and portion control.

Three more weeks to go, before I make a decision on it. | F | 60 | 1 weeks 1.5 1X W | 6/6/2023 | 1 | Pre-diabetes | This is the second time I've tried Trulicity. The first time I stopped it because my family doctor at the time, stated because I was only pre-diabetic, the benefits did not outweigh the risk. This time however, my eGFR was highly elevated and was recommended again by my endocrinologist. I'm on my second week... I have absolutely no appetite, heartburn and indigestion are my constant companion, as well as nausea and vomiting, which seems to subside after about three to four days. I believe if I continue to take this medication, things are only going to get worse.

TRULICITY (DULAGLUTIDE): Dulaglutide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Dulaglutide is similar to a natural hormone in your body (incretin). It works by causing insulin release in response to high blood sugar (such as after a meal) and by decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes. Dulaglutide is not a substitute for insulin if you need insulin treatment. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
