My mistake, it wasn't Trulicity. I was given Januvia. Same effect. I am now taking a shot of Lantus insulin glargine, schedule 10 at bedtime. My daily blood sugar was as high as 375 for a spell before, now 150ish. Am satisfied with the results. No noticeable side effects. The needle is about 1/4 inch long and wide as a human hair. No pain.

It looks nasty but it’s really nothing. I’ve been taking Trulicity for several years.

I do it in my legs (they include areas on a drawing). And I also test my blood sugar in my legs, so I alternate legs and positions to give approximately a week before testing in the same leg.

I only had one issue; when my doctor prescribed a sulfur-based antibiotic, I had a reaction with the Trulicity. I called the manufacturer and they had no history of anyone else reporting this issue. When my doctor changed it to a different antibiotic, I had no problem.

Trulicity works well for me as long as I pay attention to what I eat (and the amount) and exercise regularly.

It is made easy how Trulicity made their injector night was same as you before I tried it
