- Two new doses for Trulicity were recently FDA-Approved and are now available. In this video, PA David explains everything you need to know about the new doses, including effectiveness and rates of side effects.
Started out on metformin with A1C of 12.5. Could not tolerate metformin. Switched me to slow release dosage,still terrible side effects. My endo took me off and started me on insulin. About a year ago i was placed on trulicity 0.75 dose. Then i went to 1.5. Have had no issues ,no weight loss.A1C is lower,like 7.4.
Why am i not losing weight?? Is it because of the insulin?
My doctor prescribed trulicity for me for weight loss without having diabetes...any thoughts on this? It seems to be a trend..combined with healthy diet and exercise of course!
Just started taking the 3mg dose. My sugars are significantly lower! I feel great!
Awesome! Glad you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Currently trying out fasting for improving my health and using Trulicity helps maintain my appetite while eating smaller portion sizes and not feeling hungry as much.
I am currently using the .75mg dose and i can say, the first injection wasn’t too bad. There’s definitely some site pain but that’s about it. I am a bigger guy 5’ 11” and 258lbs and I have No Known Drug Allergies.
Was on Trulicity for about a year and my A1c stayed around 6.0-6.2. That was great and some weight loss. The GI issues were horrible. I was afraid to go anywhere for fear of a desperate bathroom situation. My A1c is up to 6.9 and wanting to try Ozempic or another injection. Are AEs the same for all injections?
Ozempic will cause the same side effects. They will pass.
I don’t know about others because this is my first time taking any kind of injections at home. I’ve lost 10lbs on 1.5 trulicity and I have so much more energy more often. I don’t over-eat anymore hardly but I feel so much better all the time! I only wish it wasn’t so expensive:( thank you for this video, I’m going to ask my endocrinologist if I should try a higher dose. I’m having a hard time losing more weight
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.
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
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.
New medications are not useful if you cannot afford their outlandish price.
Thanks for the update, I have been taking Trulicty for about 2 years now, and have noticed that it seems the auto injector sometimes cycles faster / slower than other times. Though I have never used a timer, it seems some of the time it cycles in about 1 second, maybe less, other times perhaps as long as 4 or 5 seconds, with around 2 seconds seeming to be typical. Has anyone else noticed this?
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 did start the 3.0mg dose one week ago and caused me severe diarrhea and nausea for more than 7 days. Terrible stomach pain like gastroenteritis, plus feel so weak. I have to go to the urgent care clinic and they prescribed me antibiotics and other medicine for my stomach and now on day 9 iam feeling a little bit better.
Stop taking it lots of people are complaining about the same exact symptoms.
Does this medication effect your vision? This is my first week I survive the nausea my worried is my eyes burning sensation
You got a new subscriber from Germany ;) Is there any significance in efficiency of the 4.5 trulicity compared to ozempic?
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.
I started using it today as prescribed by my physician Dr. Pala. I hope it will give me good effects, Your Video helped me and gave me lots of information on how to use this medication. thanx!
i start used now a day
i take it because of obesity not DM , I’m started with 0.75 mg
today is take second
i dont check A1c level before used but i supposed it’s normal qus I’m not DM person i just check RBS level and it normal
my question is continues with same dose for 2 weeks MORE or changed to the higher dose 1.5 or 3.0 mg
to reach level of weight that i wanna. {He gained 20 kg in weight })
what u advised me
Hello, could you talk about Byetta? It’s the most affordable GLP-1 I know of… is it good? Could you use GLP-1 for LADA?
My doctors can’t find these trulicity medication because Walgreens and cvs don’t carry them anymore or they can’t keep them on their shelves anymore so I’m have go on ozempic 😢
how long does it take after using to lose the weight???
def helped me with my glucose levels but... I got constipation so severe that there was a risk of perforation in my intestine. sadly had to stop
nice, but I dont think those higher doses are available in my country :) have to wait :)
You wont lose that much weight on it. What 5 pounds in 3 months lol. Some people actually put on weight
The weight loss was over what time period?
Great news! I wonder how much it will cost here in Brazil :(
I love your channel! Thank you! T2D with Nocturnal Hypoglycemia........
They upped my dose. Put me in the hospital.
Sugar high 😂😂 just picked up my first Trulicity RX (kinda nervous about doing it) but I've been through WAY worse pain wise
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?
I lost 65 lbs at one point and diabetes was not in my system. Gained it all back, including an A1C of 11
😥 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.
Why is it so expensive?
What insurance covers trulicity?
I used to take this a few years ago and it is the only medication that helped me control my blood sugar, appetite and an awesome A1c. But my medical insurance changed and now I can't afford it. Too expensive 😔
Get a trulicity savings card off their website
Have you tried the Good Rx card?
In México cost $40 dollars aprox per dosis.

I wish this guy was still making videos as he gave great helpful information about treatments. Please come back 🙏
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 😁
Doc we need new video on Mounjaro!
Thank you for the update.
Thank you for the updates! As a person that started injections of Lantus insulin and now Trulicity, it really helps to know the latest on all the meds! I'm also using the Freestyle Libre CGM and I was wondering if you'll do any reviews on CGMs? I really would like to know which brand is best. Thank you and have a happy, SAFE New Year!
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.
Trulicity can surpress sexuality and give you hot flashes, nausea and you lose muscle mass😢😢😢
Currently taking Trulicity for 14 weeks now. Also 2000mg of metformin a day. Still need to lose about 30 lbs. To feel comfortable. 5' 1.5" 165 lbs. Do you think the Dr. Could switch me to Ozempic to lose the weight then use the Trulicity for maintenance? Some times after 2 hrs. after a meal, my blood glucose is 95 -140. Another blood draw in a couple of months.
It does not matter how well a medicine works if you cannot get it? There has been a shortage for over a year which makes it sound like that is purposely done to keep the cost up
I just started my second week on 1.5. The first week sucked I was nauseous a lot. I’m a type 2 diabetic from my anti rejection medication from a kidney transplant. I’m actually in really good shape and not using it for weight loss. I can see you lose weight because you feel like you’re going to puke often and can’t eat. I lost 6 pounds in the first week. I do lift weights 5 days a week and do fasted morning cardio everyday. I’m going to be even leaner this summer. I can see bodybuilders using this to cut but it’s not going to help you bulk up.
I'll ask this again. What if weight is not the problem. Definitely not overweight. The A1c is 7.1. Its the after meal glucose readings go into the 200's with minimal food. I'm on Januvia and Lantus insulin currently. Even a salad with some vegetables and chicken Breast, with a half a slice of Pita Whole Wheat bread causes a 245 at least reading for the next several hours. Is this Trulicity Medication a proper course of treatment for that particular DIabetic. I ask because Metformin at 2000 grams didn't do anything and I was taken off. I have little in the way of doctors trained in Diabetes to help with an answer. Actually just getting a doctor here is a overwhelming chore in itself.
So, while I can’t give specific advice over UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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
Thank you
What’s new…the Stratocaster on the wall has been replaced with a Telecaster.
What if my stomach is bruising from taking the truicility
Just bumped me to 4.5 and I cannot stop throwing up. Soooo not worth it.
I am starting Trulicity this weekend. Does anyone have any advice? My Doc has put me on it for weight loss. My daughter is on one of the other brands. She said that it can make you sick after eating.
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
merci beaucoup
WHAT IS THE COST????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It runs about $1200 for a 28 day supply (4 pens) without insurance coverage.
It stings hate long needles
I've been taking trulicity for almost a year 1.5 and now for the last two months I've been on the 3.0 mg pain and I still don't see any difference in the numbers I don't know what I'm doing wrong sometimes seems like the worst things I eat the sugar is lower but my sugar still runs in the high 200 I just don't know what to do
How are you doing?
I have stomach pain and very bloated..
Dr. How do the graving control work with trulicity ?
Thankyou so much for ur update of trulicity...
Is Trulicity used in addition to metformin or is it a replacement? (I'm thinking of substituting Trulicity for a sulfonylurea)
I will be using both
It can be both
Color coding the video text to the pen dose color is genius.
You noticed!! Comments like this are what make it all worth it for me. 😄
Great Video ❤ Type 2 here, what helps me is injecting the trulicity near the bottom of my stomach and it’s less painful for me 😊
Me too!
Yay, another video! Awesome! I'm on Victoza, but Trulicity sounds pretty nice.
I haven’t tried victoza but I love trulicity but it is so worth it! I hate needles
The trulicity pen sucks it feels like your stabbing your self with knifes
That's weird
During a hospital consultation a new young doc gave me a pack of Trulicity for my Type I db. But I never used it. I am too lean and slim with no loose fat whatsoever to stab that brutal instrument into my gut. I also have a low pain threshold. Even using my insulin pen twice a day is a struggle. As for losing weight, that is absolutely not an option. It has taken me 10 long years to recover from ketoacidosis which reduced me to skin and bone and almost a goner. My normal consultant would have asked more questions before prescribing dodgy meds like this. Fortunately, I didn't have to pay for it as everything is free of charge here in the UK
