Hi DebbieS welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Looks like this is your first post. I noticed Metformin and Trulicity mentioned right away. A lot of people have difficulty adjusting to Metformin at first. But those that can, end up swearing by it. I’m a bit familiar with Trulicity but had no idea it is anything similar to Metformin. Congrats on weight, exercise, eating habits and active life style. Hope you and your Dr. can settle on a med that is helpful to you. Would you mind updating with what that turns out to be?

Absolutely, I will update with whether Metformin works. In the first few days I experienced a bit of nausea and ab pain, which I wasn’t certain was caused by Metformin or was associated with the Interstitial Cystitis I’ve struggled with for years. After 9 days on Metformin 500mg once daily, I feel no side effects.
My Dr prefers Trulicity for the convenience of a once weekly injectable and I agreed wholeheartedly but my prescription coverage denied Trulicity until I tried Metformin first. Obviously a cost savings consideration.
