Trulicity and Farxiga combo is a game changer for me.

A fellow T2 diabetic here. I've struggled to control my blood sugar for the past 9 years, with A1c ranging from 9.1 and now down to 7.6 (still not great). I've been prescribed countless medications without much luck. Additionally, I developed High BP and high Cholesterol in my T2 journey despite a very active lifestyle.

2 weeks ago, my doctor switched me to Trulicity 0.75mg and Farxiga 5 mg After just 2 weeks on this combo, my blood sugar is consistently in range for the FIRST TIME EVER. This is HUGE for me.

Pros:

* Amazing Blood Sugar Control: Literally the best 2 weeks of my T2 journey. 100% in range BG for 2 weeks. * Weight Loss: Bonus 4 lbs down in 2 weeks, even though I wasn't overweight to begin with.

Cons (aka, side effects):

* Appetite Loss: I can barely eat anything, which is good for weight but sad for food enjoyment. * Nausea: Pretty much constant, but I think it's a small price to pay for finally managing my diabetes. * Weakness & Reduced Exercise: This sucks the most. I used to crush hour-long workouts in a combo of strength training and cardio, but now I'm struggling at 30 minutes.

Overall, I'm thrilled with the results, but the side effects are real. Hoping my body adjusts over time.

Has anyone else tried this Trulicity + Farxiga combo? What were your experiences like?
