User Reviews for Trulicity subcutaneous

I have been on this drug for 5 weeks. It has worked really well at lowering my numbers from morning high of 130 to 80's. I reduced my Lantus from 35mg X2/day to 10 once a day. I do have the nausea and vomiting for the first couple days after the injection each week. However, the biggest issue that I have had is sever constipation! I went from normal daily BM's to once a week! I tried every trick in the book, Meralax, stool softeners 4/a day, drinking 90oz of water, more fiber, etc. you name it I tried it. My doctor has stopped the drug for a month to see if I return to normal functions. Read More Read Less

works wonderfully..sugar is in control with metformin

This is my third week. I took the low dose the first two weeks and the higher dose this week. Reading the reviews definitely scared me. I haven't had a single problem. I get very slightly nauseous for about five minutes after the shot, then I'm fine. My blood sugar is wonderful. The lower dose didn't effect my appetite, but the higher dose does. This is not a negative! I did notice that the lower dose wore off the day before the next shot. I'm curious to see if the higher dose does the same. In all, I'm very surprised that it works so well.Read More Read Less

No energy, No appetite. Did lower sugars, couldn't tolerate the side effects

Started Trulicity October 2015. A1C was 12 and had finally gotten Lantus fro 50 to 10. In addition, also take metformin 2000mg per day. Along with diet and exercise (cardio, weight training, ect), my A1C is now at 6 and I am off the Lantus. I started on the .75 dose for 2 weeks before moving to 1.5. Nausea was initially fairly mild but persistent for first 3 weeks. After that, no problem. Definitely kills the appetite. I was practicing portion control and found I eat even less. Psychologically, it pains me to have to take medication, but this is what is needed for now and is working. I try to think of it as a tool. My goal is to be medication free.Read More Read Less

I took trulicity since June 2015 after spending a week in the hospital for an infections cysit and was on IV drugs. Blood sugars in the 350 range. Five injections of isulin (3 of Novalog,2 of Levimire). Were ineffective. Last ditch effort by my doctor was to try Trulicity. Overnight blood sugars went to 116. Stayed low after each weeks injection. A1C went from 13 to 7. No real bad side effects,loss of appetite, major weight loss after 6 months (60 lbs.) Stopped taking on my own 50 days ago without doctors knowledge, Blood sugars leveled out to high 110s to 120sRead More Read Less

The drug from hell....severe nausea, mega headaches, vomiting. I wii not take another injection

Just started and on second dose, within days I becgn to gain weight a pound every day. I noticed my legs were swollen and they felt thick and heavy, I also felt hyper. Second shot 8th day swelling in hands and eyes now too, so I called doctor and now moving onto Tanzeum. If your not allergic, it did a wonderful job of stopping hunger. Good Luck!

I have taken for 2 months. I am mostly satisfied. Less urination than invokana. I have mild lower back pain. Overall I feel pretty good. Sugars are down to low 100's in morning and low 140's after lunch. I take .75 mg weekly, with 2000 mg metformin daily. Jury is still out but no severe side effects and energy ok. I do have a weird metallic taste after eating? I lost weight on invokana but it sapped my energy. So far weight is stable on trulicity and a1c is 6.6.

My first injection on Friday...sick stomach and diarrhea on Sunday. All of that lasted the entire week. Second injection on Friday, sick stomach and indigestion on Sunday. On Tuesday, I felt human again, everything back to normal. I'm eating half of a meal instead of the whole thing and I'm not craving anything. I have lost weight and am feeling so much better. For anyone skeptical about this, please at least give it a try...may take a couple of weeks to level out, but it's worth it!

1st injection Wed, vomiting by Fri.. second injection following Thur (so as not to miss work again) sick Sun.. 3rd injection thur.. giving it one more chance.. fasting 160 down from 200.. no weight loss, terrible bloat.. retaining fluid in hands. Nausea worse if I eat..I try not to eat for couple days after shot don't understand why no weight loss.. I see new endo dr in Jan, hope I can continue with this med till then..

I'm not sure what is happening but my vision it's hard to focus since I've taken my second shot it's hard to drive because I cannot focus when I look down has anybody else had this kind of side effect with this medication I went to the eye doctor he gave me an eye exam my vision is 20 20 there is no explanation for the vision problems that I am having the only new medication I've been taking is trulicity.

I have been on this drug for 2 months. It wipes out your appetite altogether. And I found it difficult to force myself to eat. I haven't felt any relief from diabetic foot/nerve pain. But my glucose levels have been low; below 100 in the mornings and no higher than 140 at night. I do take this weekly along with my nightly insulin. I was hesitant at first about why I needed to try this, but if you can deal with the no appetite and tiredness; it works.

This medication dropped my sugar from 300-475 down to the low 100's -150 depending on the time of day. I've lost 24lbs in three months. I've had extreme fatigue but it's worth it. I don't have as much nerve pain as I did, and I can almost feel my fingertips again. Lack of appetite is amazing, I eat because I have to not because I want to. The pen is another huge plus. Needles give me anxiety, but this I can handle.

Used for a month so far. My fasting blood sugar level has went from way over 300 to under 100. Have also lost weight. I have not experienced the side effects some have.

Wish I had been warned about the side effects. My readings have dropped from 235 - 255 to 170 on 1st day to now on 6th day to 140. However it has felt like a war going on in my body, fever, sick, tired etc. I have been in bed since day 2 and cannot see any end to this. Do I take my 2nd dose?

Had all the side effects, not good, way too much pain!!!

the side effects make me miserable it keeps my numbers down I am not happy with the way I feel

I love this. It has not only brought down my readings from 300 and 400 to 130 and lower, but my weight has dropped from 230 to 195. I do experience low readings due to lack of wanting food. But I have set alarms that remind me to eat. I have only one side effect and that is some burping sometimes. I can live with this. Love, Love, Love. P.S. My A1C is way down too...9 down to 6.8. doing great, am due another A1C this month.

I've been on Trulicity for a week now. No nausea, no cravings, no bad side effects as of yet. I'm not as hungry. While testing my sugar, it seems to be working awesomely. I go back in 2 months for blood work. I have also lost 6 lbs in the first week. This is the only med for diabetics to help me.
