Awesome! Glad you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I’m happy to report that Sugar High is coming back. I’ve recorded two new videos and they are in the editing phase right now. Stay tuned and thank you so much for your enthusiasm.

@@sugarhighchannel That is great news and I can't wait for the new videos 😁

so how long did it take you to lose that weight??

@@noed.martinez9358 I lost it steadily over a few weeks’ time

I noticed the appetite suppression right away. Leaving half my lunch the next day, so far so good....

All I lost was muscle. I still have my belly fat and it no longer works for me

4.5 had horrible side effects the doctor moved back down to 1.5 dz.

Mark, I wasn’t fully understanding my doctor today but I think he said I was to start the trulicity and continue my 24 units a day of the lantus. I also understood I was to decrease the lantus to 10 units after a week eventually stopping the lantus altogether once I felt my sugar was not getting high readings. I’m also taking metformin twice a day. It’s hard to understand him and he never asks me if I have any questions. I will be finding a different endocrinologist. I’m just afraid I’m using too much insulin now that I’ll be starting the trulicity. I will definitely ask the pharmacist when I go and pick up my rx.

Great question! We won’t know exactly how they compare until a clinical trial can be conducted testing them against each other. In separate trials, each preformed similarly, but we can’t directly compare results of one trial to those of another.

Can i ask how much weight loss have u lost after using Trulicity?

@@Prince.B272 My weight loss has not been all that much, perhaps 3-4 pounds per year since starting Trulicity 3 years ago now, which I am happy with as I was only slightly above what I consider my comfortable weight, which is still consider to be overweight. I may not be the best person to ask as I had abdominal surgery and many months of being on a limited diet in 2011, where I lost 30-35 pounds in under 6 months, which I had been slowly putting back on at a rate of 2-3 pounds per year until going on Trulicity

I also trulicity prescribed here in Sweden, I don't have diabetes, all though I'm overweight BMI 29.8 And blood sugars some what high. Just started today.

I haven’t tried victoza but I love trulicity but it is so worth it! I hate needles

Ozempic will cause the same side effects. They will pass.

😥 sorry to hear!

The trulicity didn’t work for you?

I lost 70 pounds on keto gained most of it back my a1c went from 6.2 to 7.

Me too!

You noticed!! Comments like this are what make it all worth it for me. 😄

You need to start metformin

just wait for it !, I uses trulicity 1.5mg + janumet 1000 + Jardiance 10mg and I wake up on 125 - 135 blood sugar and I have lost more than 8 KGs

@@abdulrehmanmian1476 I agree. Metformin ER with supper will lower those high sugars that you wake up with in the morning. You have to play around with the dose to find what works best for you.

So, while I can’t give specific advice over KZfaq for any one particular person, here’s how I would approach this issue if one of my patients had a similar issue. I would change the Januvia to a medication in this category (either Trulicity or Ozempic, although Victoza and Bydureon are not bad options). Since even a very low carb meal is resulting in spiking blood glucose, it sounds like the pancreas has lost some ability to secrete an appropriate amount of insulin following the meal. Medications in the GLP-1 class have been shown in clinical trials (I can think of one study performed using Ozempic in particular) to help restore a normal amount of post-meal insulin secretion from the pancreas. If that was enough to help control the after-meal glucose jumps, I wouldn’t make any further changes. If 3-4 months using that medication didn’t make enough difference and after-meal glucose remained high, then short-acting meal time insulin would likely be necessary.

@@sugarhighchannel Thanks for the reply and the good advice. I will inquire with the primary doctor about these meds.

​@@bluesky4385I had the same problem you had the minute I ate some carbs. My sugar would go to 280. What you need to do is cut out all carbs out of your life. They're not worth it I also take a cinnamon pill from the health food store. You need to try those. They're very good. You take them after you eat I take for a day also try oatmeal flour and make bread out of that and pita you can KZfaq how to make pita bread with oatmeal flour. Stay away from the sugar and the carbs. They're poisoned. Good luck! I hope things work out for you

Yeah find a new way to lose weight quit using a Diabetes medicine that actual diabetics cannot get because of the off label users like you

Get a trulicity savings card off their website

Have you tried the Good Rx card?

In México cost $40 dollars aprox per dosis.

Ng

How are you doing? I have stomach pain and very bloated..

I will be using both

It can be both

Hope it works out for you. Best wishes.

Its not really painful. And I hate pain.

@@99wallygator Not too many people like pain anyways 😂😂 but I just had my 6th knee surgery. I've been a chronic pain person since I was a kid and I've had over 20 surgeries all together. I just got my 6th tattoo but I still hesitate pressing the green button hahaha

Nah girl you are fine. How did it go? Did you lose any weight?

It runs about $1200 for a 28 day supply (4 pens) without insurance coverage.

That's weird
