For Diabetes, Type 2 Took the first dose of trulicity 1.5 Friday 12/09/2016. Saturday was fine. blood sugar was ok. Taking with 75 units of Lantus in AM and PM. Sugars are much better (97 this morning). Side effects are real for me though. But they are side effects I have been getting occasionally for the past year, before I started on Trulicity. The major issue for me is stomach cramps, gas(both ends). Sulfur burbs are really really bad. Tons of gas. I vomited once - and felt much better after doing so. Since I was experiencing these side effects randomly over the past year, I wonder if it's the lantus - with Trulicity magnifying it. Pure speculation. at this point. Dr for another dose tomorrow. I will take it and see what the next week brings.
