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)

 4  Improved A1c; wright loss Experienced all the "regular"ť side effects, including intense vomiting that absolutely disrupted my routines. But I was on an early, early GLP-1 a decade ago that had same temp side effects, so I knew I could per through. Either way, this med is doing exactly what it promises to do... Slows digestion, makes me MUCH LESS hungry, improves my BS, and helps me loae weight. Down about 18 pounds and am requiring considerably less insulin. It has taken a while to see the max. benefit. I highly recommend sticking with it; it works! F 50 7 months

 2  Type2 diabetes Nausea, Weakness, no appetite, balance issues, extreme muscle loss . Lost 35 pounds went from 170 to 135, lost most my muscle mass and look extremely thin. Took this drug for almost 2 years. Lowered my A1c but look like a scare crow. I think the GLP1 antagonist caused gastroparesis and in turn malnutrition and malabsorption of nutrients causing muscle loss and weakness. M 75 100 days

 2  Diabetic, lose weight, less insulin Exhausted, constant nausea, stomach and lower side with back pain and cramping, constipation, loss of appetite, cant eat as much. Did three weeks and stopped for three weeks due to symptoms. Lost 2 lbs, lowered insulin 20 units. Not worth all the agony. What other class of injection works with less side effects and more weight loss? Now back on it, I have insomnia and again constipated. The nausea and stomach pain and cramping are not as severe as 1st three weeks. F 46 4 weeks

 1  Lower A1c I have been experiencing the worst of the side effects. Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and constipation. To counter the side effects, I just started PEPTOBISMOL, milk of magnesia and suppositories. This is not working for me. This is my update for my next doctor appointment on Feb. 17th, 2023. On Feb. 10, 2023, I get blood work done. If my a1c doesn't go below my current 8.1, I am not willing to continue using this life altering medication...I would like to see the people that got this medication approved try this medication themselves and see how they feel. Fu..as.. M 52 5 months

 3  To lower A1c without gaining weight Have used 5 weeks- so not sure yet if A1c under control- extremely tired- nap 2 or 3 times daily- headache day after injections- nausea if too much fat in my meal- still trying to find the "sweat spot" and eat to not have nausea Was given a 90 day supply- $3200 charged to my insurance-- so I hope to be able to finish at least the 90 supply - can not return extra if I do not finish- next new medicine I have instructed my Pharmacy ---no more than a 30 day supply --- that way I can stop new medications that might not work for me F 75 35 days

 1  Type 2 Diabetes My doctor prescribed me Trulicity to help lower my A1C, which was at a 7 that I had managed to get to w/o any medication after 2 years during covid. From the outset until I stopped it, my body didn't like it. I started having panic attacks, vertigo, tremors, parasthesia in back and extremities, extreme insomnia, and headaches along with the common side effects of indigestion and stomach issues. I've had a CT scan, EKG, and chest x-ray. They found nothing. I'm three weeks post stopping it and I'm still having vertigo and headaches and now am looking into being referred to a neurologist. I had none of these before taking this medication. I may be an outlier, an extreme or rare case considering my age but I wanted to put this out there in case someone else has dealt with these side effects. Do not recommend. Trulicity has destroyed my sense of normalcy and quality of life since taking it. F 30 2 months

 4  Type 2 diabetes. Nausea-Sulphur burps-Constipation A1C went from off the chart to 5.5. I've lost over 30 lb in 7 weeks. Blood sugar is now never over 100, it averages around 80. You absolutely have to make extreme diet changes or this drug will destroy you. Overall if you are willing to stick it out and make the dietary changes this drug will change your life but it is very hard. M 41 8 weeks
