I have been taking Trulicty for a while now and I swear it works great, EXCEPT I hate the side effects. But I will put up with them because it is saving my life. My blood sugars are about 100 or less. My A1C last time was 6.0 percent. I am losing weight slowly.

Thank you! I started Trulicity today and was flying "blind"; you answered all my questions! I really appreciate it!

Fantastic video, both content and production quality. Just started Trulicity yesterday, and it appears to have really stabilized the rate of change of sugars (much less roller coaster effect). Keep up the good work!

I picked up my first box today and needed more information. Thank you, you eased my mind.

So helpful. I was just prescribed Trulicity injection by my doctor I didn't know how to use it. I didn't asked my doctor question because I thought this is the same way as insulin. I was wrong. But thanks God I get your information. That was easy and fun. Thanks again. I gave a thumb up and you have a new subscriber.

Thank you. It made me see the best way of getting myself on the positive side.

I had been on Trulicity for 4 years before an insurance change made it unaffordable. I had great control using Trulicity and Farxiga. I am now on Lantus and will be adding Trulicity back next month. Other than a depressed appetite I had no problems with Trulicity.

An absolutely wonderful presentation about trulicity. I feel much better as I start the use of this medication tomorrow; and, I am hoping for good results as so many others have achieved by the use of this medication/drug. I absolutely like the good presentations manner of presentation; and, how many concerns/questions are answered in this video. Thank you for your outstanding video. Father Vern from Iowa.

Amazing review!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for a great and informative video. Enjoyed watching.

Very helpful 👌I have had bad bloating issues that are very painful. I have had amazing results from Trulicity and also lost 20 lbs. Thanks for sharing 👍

Very helpful and informative!

I’m someone that is very sensitive to medications and side effects but amazingly the only minor side effect I had from Trulicity was slight nausea after eating for about an hour and then it went away.

This video is amazing and has answered so many questions I had about taking trulicity. I was recently prescribed this as my A1c was at an 11.3 (despite being on Metformin). Thanks for this video and the channel as a whole!

This was very helpful. So easy to understand. New subscriber!

i just started 0.75. Today i did my 1st inj. We will see. The video is superb!!!

Thanks for the video, it has really put my mind at rest, I've only started injecting trulicity so it is very early to see any significant change,you have answered all my questions, linking forward to a near normal life,keep up the great work you are doing

Excellent review, thanks

Great content on Trulicity. Thanks!

Thanks for the video as a first time user I was scared this video def helped me do it by myself thanks again

Perfectly good blog doc...thank you doc

Thank You, you really explained a lot that I didn't know, I'm not as nervous as I was before

I’ve been on Trulicity .75 for about 4 weeks now. Little to no side effects. Occasionally I would get a nauseous feeling but if I eat something it goes away.

You explained sooo well. Thankyou

Thank you for the information!

very details explanation, thanks for sharing

Just took my first shot tonight about 6 hours ago. So far no issues. Fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you for the video. Subscribed:)

Very informative! I started Trulicity today and I’m so nervous reading all the negative reviews online. I gave it a go to see how my body reacts to it. 🤞🤞 thank you so much for the helpful video!

Amazing videos thank you.

Thank you so much for this video, is very informative and right to the point. The fact that all this is coming from a PA. is a mayor plus. I just got my first 1.5 dose on this medication. My highest levels are around 260, so let's see how this works.

Starting my first 0.75mg dose today. I’ve already lost almost 20lbs within the last two yrs. Hopefully I won’t lose anymore than I have to. 5/9” 183lbs. this morning 🙏🏼

I just started Trulicity and Lantus. I had my first Lantus shot last night and my first Trulicity shot this morning. I agree that I definitely like the Trulicity better as it is very easy to take. Now we see how the side effects go. I did have a very small amount of nausea afterward. Thank you for the video!

I loved watching your video. I am subscribing to you channel.

Excellent review! Thank you so much!

Im currently using it and its definitely worth a shot.

Good video and information

I recently been prescribed for this medication and it's working very successfully for my diabetes!!! First of all you need to change the way you eat and respect the fact of being a diabetic and you will see much improvement in your health as I did weight loss and I'm feeling totally fabulous . Yes I totally agreed about the side effects I get a little nauseating and the medicine doesn't allow me to over eat it decrease my appetite thanks for sharing this video

good info about room temp before injecting,thanks.

Great video!

My PA wants to put me on this ! I’m a diabetic 2 for two years and taking two pill meds a day and not working ! She will let me know tomorrow because she has to find out if Medicaid will pay ! Thank you for your videos . Helps a lot !

btw, great video doc.... very informative and clear... thank you

I've had diabetes for several years. Have been taking Atorvastatin, Metformin, Glipazide and Lisinopril. Lately, I'm having trouble controlling my blood sugar and don't want to take insulin. I hate the idea of sticking myself every day with insulin so I tried Trulicity a couple of years ago and it didn't seem to help my a1c but after seeing this explanation, I'm ready to give it another try.

Very easy to use yes I am taking it once a week thank you for the information you had I sure appreciate it I sure appreciate it thank you

Very helpful thank you.

Great video. I am taking a different GLP-1. I will be changing to Trulicity since insurance will support. I wish that I could cut dose in half twice a week. This is how my doctor and I reduced side affect of my other GLP medication.

I just started truelicity today, love this video I subscribed!

This was an excellent video! I just started taking Trulicity today after taking a combination of metformin, glipizide and Lantus (insulin) . My doctors and I want to see if we can reduce the number of meds I take daily. They've stopped the insulin for now. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Do you have any updated videos on Trulicity? I am looking at the comments and they are 2-3 years old. Also, I thank you for your explanation of this med, I have been afraid to inject the medication prescribed, since I have never had to do this before with any other med. This video encouraged me and took away the fear of using the Trulicity. Thanks for all the info, the only thing I didn't hear was the best time of day to inject.

Thanks for this video I am about to do my 1st 0.75 injection I will keep you all posted

Thank you! When my doctor prescribed Trulicity to me, I asked if I should let it warm up before injection. She said she didn't know, and to ask my pharmacist. My brother had to pick it up, and did not ask this. I have seen a different doctor since then, and she also said she did not know, and ask my pharmacist. Because I did not know whether to let it warm up , I have been taking it out and letting it warm up while I take a shower. I guess I should continue this, but I will be asking my pharmacist anyway.

This video was very helpful n less scary in getting the injection myself. Ty

I’m using the blue one now! Love the video thanks 🙏

Thank you very much

It helped me a lot ❤

PA David your videos. One question? Any studies on using combination of SGLT@ and Glp1 at the same time?? It seems that gaining the advantages of both therapies would help both A1C and morning fasting

OMG.... KEVIN... LOL... I fell off my chair... wicked funny...! We need Team Kevin t-shirts...

You are hilarious!!! Thank you!!

Dr. thank you very much for the video it is full of good information for me since is the first time I'm using this medication after watching the video I feel confident using the pen. Again thank you Juan

Dr, you're amazing, thank you for helping me with my first injection

Thank you for this video. My dr gave me the first injection. I’m doing my first injection today. This helps

Thanks mate 👍

i am type 2 diabetes for last 8 or 9 years, always on metformin with quick brake for insuline (pregnancy) but after giving birth my body went into strange mode and I couldnt stabilize sugar level. Doc gave me trulicity and I am already starting second week. I see it working but those side effects are really not very fun to work with :) hope my body will adjust. Great video, you told me more than my doctor about this drug and I am glad I found your chanel. I subscribed :D

I love this my ins would not cover ozempic so I wasn't sure how good trulicity would be, side effects were not bad and I lost 5 lbs also brought down my a1c. The only thing is wake up before using it. I accidently left the cap on the bottom once and the medication went all over. Super easy to use and if you let it warm up and make sure if you use alcohol it is dry first to avoid sting, you don't even feel it go in.

Covered all basis. Thanks

This video was so helpful thank you. Just took my first dose today along with Metformin, which I've been on for about 12 years. Injection was so easy and didn't feel a thing. I feel fine a few hours in and keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way :)

Thanks! I was a little nervous about starting it but after watching your video I feel lots better about it. One question though. If I do get some nausea is it ok to take anti-nausea medication?

Hi thank you so much for these educational videos. I do have a question. My doctor wanted me to use Ozempic but at the moment I do not have insurance so trulicity has become available to me and I can afford it. But I really want to use the ozempic, would there be an issue switching from trulicity to ozempic when I get my insurance back?

good video ty

As soon as Kevin appeared I gave the video a like! Jokes apart this was very informative, I changed from ozempic to trulicity and it works much better for me. No side effects and overall I feel better.

Great video. I have been using Trulicity for more than a year. I was injecting it into the back of my arm by my quad muscle. A nurse told me to 'roll' my arm to get the fatty outside part to come out. I did this but my blood sugar was still in the 400-500 range with proper diet and exercise. I just tried the way you showed in the abdomen. I hope this lowers it.

Hi. I love your videos. I used Bydureon with Metformin. I could not get under and A1C of 7 mostly cause of my diet, but Bydureon along with walking, got me down to 5.2. WOW. And of course, now they have discontinued it. I had NO side effects while taking it. What in your opinion would be me a replacement with the same kind o weekly dose medication??? Im not that familiar with the history of these other pens. Why do they get rid of the things that work?? Claims it was a business decision???

I’m starting my 1st dose of Trulicity tonight. Nervous about side effects but excited to lower my A1C. Wish me luck!

I have been on metformin for almost 9 months , started 3 weeks ago with trulicity already I have lost 17 lbs. Of course I have no appetite and I am eating a no carbs diet. Hopefully I can continue to lose weight. I would like to lose about 30 lbs

I took my first dose yesterday after taking Metformin for the last 18 years, my Doctor switched me to Trulicity and Glimepiride because I was descending into kidney failure and the Metformin wasn’t helping matters? Anyway....I gave myself that shot and YOWZA! it burned and left a nice lump and bruise. Late last night I started to get a little nauseous but nothing a few saltines couldn’t take care of. Thank you for the fabulous video. It really helped my first time. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I'm about to start it today. Nervous but hopeful

Great information! Way better than my doc...lol Note: needle burns a little for about 10 secs as meds go in, but good after that.

Hahaha Thank you Kelvin ❤❤ great video. 👍

I just started this two weeks ago. First week I was throwing up for three days and second week I have it comming at the other end. Today will be my third shot and hope this week won't be bad

Of course all the best, I’m starting tomorrow but have been using byetta each day so looking forward to only 1/wk injecting. Trulycity are more advanced in technique and easier.

I was started on the 0.75 dose after 4 weeks there was no real effect (in conjunction with Metformin and Januvia). My provider increased to the 1.5 dose. I did see a slight change in my daily glucose numbers. The injections were very simple with the device. I tended to have more of a startle reflex when pushing the activation button (compare to opening a can of refrigerated biscuits) then pain. After two weeks on the dose and midway through third week severe side effects hit (vomiting, diarrhea). My provider and I couldn't rule out food poisoning (recent travel questionable restaurant) so we tried the 4th dose after those effects wore off. This dose took "severe" side effects to the next level. I don't say this to scare anyone. My take-away is my provider and I probably could have gone a few more weeks at the low dose which may have started to show improvement as well start showing side effects at lessened intensity. For me this was not the GLP of choice. (As a side note we did rule out pancreatitis the vomiting and diarrhea brought some abdominal pain...with the use of Januvia needed to check-negative.) Hope this is helpful. New to your videos but they very informational! Thank you.

Awesome channel, so glad I found it.

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing Doc...... I have been on & off Trulicity for the past 6-7 years. The main reason I stop, is I find the injection hurts. I have tried different injection sites, with almost all the same results. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

wow not one negative comment. must be super awesome guys!!

I have been using Trulicity for years, and am up to 4.5mg now. I’ve been getting hives and swelling, but it took a few years for this to happen.

The system to deliver the injection is awesome for people whom have arthritis & nerve damage in their hands!

Thanks for the video, can you take trulicity for weight loss? My A1C is 6.0 and have been trying to lose weight but my body is finding hard to drop this weight even with diet. Pls advice

Hi Doctor, First of all, absolutely loved this video. I live in Australia and I was started on the 1.5mg/0.5ml Trulicity about 6 weeks ago in conjunction with Januvia, Jardiance and Rosuvastatin. From what I gather, I am among the unfortunate few that get to experience the seemingly brutal side effects of Trulicity and yes, I have lost weight as well. I am trying to soldier on as I think the severity and frequency of these side effects are decreasing although quite slowly. I also am trying to standardize my diet as I personally find the side effects worsen with carb rich and sometimes fatty and spicy food. So basically this drug is forcing me to start eating what a diabetic should be eating anyway since I have no real will power to do it otherwise. Like strong patches do to a chain smoker trying to quit. But this is also causing constant tiredness, lethargy and admittedly some strong mood swings. It is affecting my work and thinking straight for any extended period has become difficult. From your experience with your patients so far, how much longer (roughly) may it take for the body to get used to Trulicity and I can get on with life as "normal"? Thanks in advance.

OMG thank you so much. I just was told I have type 2 due to genetic. I just it

I am deafblind, I have seen Insulin pens and, to be honest the Trulicity pen looks far more blind friendly! I am looking forward to starting it next week, I shall come back and tell you how I go

PA David love your videos. One question? Any studies on using combination of SGLT@ and Glp1 at the same time?? It seems that gaining the advantages of both therapies would help both A1C and morning fasting

Thanks for sharing what do I do about the sugar cravings I'm taking a 1.5 mg dollars

I'm on my second month of trulicity .75. The first month every thing was fine but this new box seems particularly "stabby". Last Friday it left a bruise on my stomach and when I did my thigh today it's a pretty tender with a slight bump. Is this just a calibration issue or fluctuation between boxes? The medication did inject.

How long does it take for Trulicity 1,5 to take effect? this is my 5 week my glycemy is 150 in the morning without food

Have you found that at times Trulicity will work better in some patients when Ozempic doesn't seem to work well for them?
