Diabetes, Type 2
"I&#039;ve been DM Type 2 for 15 years and in the last 2 years taking Levemir, Novolog and Janumet.  My last A1c was 9.1.  I started having abdominal upset and diarrhea from the Metformin in the Janumet, so my Doctor took me off of  Janumet  He started me on once weekly Trulicity (.75 mg) 2 weeks ago.  Already I&#039;ve seen significant changes in my blood sugars: 110-140 (fasting) and 85-170 (post meals). As a result, I&#039;m taking 1/2 the dosage of Levemir and less Novolog prior to meals.  I&#039;m hoping to come off insulin.  After starting Trulicity, I had some upper abdominal soreness and stomach cramping, but those symptoms have improved.  I have NOT had any diarrhea or nausea.  My appetite has decreased because I feel full all the time.  So far so good!"
