Comment:
I have been taking Trulicity for about 8 weeks. I get diarrhea at least once a week. It does reduce my appetite. It seemed to reduce my need for Lantus at first by about 10 mm but I had to increase it back up after about 4 weeks. I am going to question my doctor about it the next time I see him.

Began taking Trulicity or the first week. Injection was simple and began on a Sunday. The first week a little lethargic, other side effects. However, the second week much different. 2nd Injection on the next Sunday began feeling dizzy, which turned into raucous vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea the next 2 days, accompanied with a rapid heart rate. I did call my doctor who directed me to stop us

Comment:
I started the first week shot. The pen was easy to inject. The first day I had energy. The third day I had immense nausea, headache,body pains, severe pain from below chest to abdomen. I had chest pains with shortness of breath, and fatigue. All of this started on day 3. I will not be taking a 2nd week shot. Went back to Lantus insulin pens.

I have been taking Trulicity for nearly two months; I have had a few normal blood sugar readings but nothing miraculous -- but no terrible side effects either. I will ask my doctor about increasing to dose to see if my numbers improve further.
