Thanks so much for this video. Today is my first dose and starting out with 0.5. I didn't feel the needle and you made it simple.

I don't know these doctors must be getting paid a lot of money because the pill s are a thousand dollars and my understanding is that my insurance company won't pay for it yeah you'll lose weight because you can't afford the groceries something right here $1,000 for a pill or I should say pills

MODY 4 here. I was dx'd because we found I have mitochondrial complex I deficiency after decades of mystery illnesses, including cyclic vomiting syndrome, chronic elevated lactic acid and ammonia, etc. Found out later that MODY 1, 3 and 4 are well documented to cause mitochondrial dysfunction.

Oh yeah the drug might be a good one but nobody seems to tell you it's going to cost you $1,000 yep that's what I said $1,000 seems like an awful lot of money to me they don't tell you that until you go to the drug store and pay for the thing one month supply give me a break

Watch out for the ozempic flu. I had it and its not fun

Do the great job of explaining it wonderful job however you left out one little thing and that's what it cost will my insurance pay for it I haven't as yet seen any comments on the money part and that's the important part isn't it

I have used ozempic for 8 months 4mos at .25 then 4 Mos at.50..my a1c is still at 6.50 same as started and no weight loss.

Are your insurances all paying for the medication. I was feeling pretty bad about having to pay $76 per month until I heard that the medication cost is $800-$1,000. After hearing this, $76 didn’t sound so bad.

Is there a way to reverse mody type 1 and mody type 3? Im think i have mody 1 since my hdl levels are low . And in really scared i just want it to go away forever no matter how. Im ready to stop eating all the junks i used to it i just wanna be a normal healthy person. Also if im super active and keep my blood sugar level in control is it possible for me to be on meds and not take insulin later in life?

You are the best, was about to panic, was 103!! Sweating,

I'm on Tresiba and I'm at 112 units and my morning B's is always around 10. I think I need a fast acting insulin for meals or a different insulin 😢

I am sick and tired of our elected politicians allowing pharmaceutical companies to screw us while Canada and the EU enjoy way lower costs...sickening

Hi David. What is the name of the blood test to see if I have mody?

What about if I have diabetes type 2 and "underweight"? Which mody do I have?

GREAT video!

Thank you for putting this easy to follow video together. It was very helpful

Is this Trulicity really working ?

Americans are fat because they live on sugar and cheap carbohydrates. They deserve their type two diabetes…..

Thanks. The video was informative. For the first time CGM users step by step instructions could be helpful.

If we use it for weight loss, with exercise & healthy eating in how many days we can see the results? what if we stop taking it? does it cause severe muscle loss? does the weight bounce back

I just came across your G7 KZbin that is a great video, thank you for that.

I use the G6 and G7 in 4 different places, arm, tummy and thigh… my favorite is my thigh… I save the tummy and and arm for the OmniPod pump.

What is that annoying noise or music. Hard to keep listening with that in the background

I'm type 2 diabetic and on metformin prescribed by my doctor. I have bought rybelsus privately and have been using it for around 4 months. I've lost over 2 stone in weight and zero side effects. Should I keep taking my metformin alongside it or stop? I have a diabetes check up in a couple of weeks but I feel like I may have reversed it with the rybelsus

Is there muscle loss as well?

Completely true, I had similar symptoms as t2 … my A1C was 12.7 I am going through difficult times to normalize my body at normal ranges

As a type 1 diabetic on Basaglar who's struggled with the incomplete 24 hour period of activity it gives but didn't realize it, this was an extremely helpful and informative video. I just wish it took less than two minutes for you to get to the information! You don't have to goad my ego to get me to watch this, just tell me it's going to be a lot of information and get into it.

Thank you i was scared to take it ,but am gonna try now since i seen your video.

I'm getting hard lumps under my skin at the site of injection.

false low to me, is from caffeine addiction/crashing. when my blood sugar is actually low, i have an appetite, and i feel happy and imagine the food i want, and that is rare. I'm rarely ever actually low. These bad feelings are from caffeine + also i believe stomach acidity.

I’m LADA & have had 3 consecutive days of lows through OMNIPOD 5G in tandem w/G7. I did not feel the 3rd hypoglycemic episode till it got to 40. It took 8oz of OJ, 15 minutes later a coffee cake square, & 15 minutes later 3 twizzlers to come back up to 70 I do have the basqimi on hand the nasal glycogen but it makes me siiiiiiiiiiick for a good 3 days…

I was diagnosed with diabetes at 29 years of age. I’m 62 now. I was not over weight back then. Within 3 months I was on insulin but my doctors kept labeling me as T2 & putting me not just insulin but the typical T2 meds. My mother was T1 from the age of 14 in the late 40’s till she passed in ‘86 at the age of 50 from complications. In 2012 my PMD when I was living & working in Virginia did blood work & then labeled me as LADA. I eventually moved to NYS & my doctors here labeled me back as T2, even though my symptoms say otherwise. Lately I’m having issues with several hypoglycemic episodes for 3 consecutive days below 55. I’m on an insulin pump. My endo did do blood tests recently and his diabetic educator said I’m LADA but that they keep me labeled as T2 for insurance purposes because my endo insists I be on mounjaro even though it does nothing for me even at the highest dose other than throw me into ketoacidosis for which I then have to be hospitalized so sick sick of all this

This young man is extremely knowledgeable, are you a doctor, and have you used this yourself

Has anyone used 2 injections on the same day? 1.5mg x 2?

Does anyone here consume alcohol on Trulicity?

Fyi: I've been on trulicity for approximately a year now. I've lost weight & my A1C is 6.0. I'm also on metformin & glimperide, which my doctor recently decreased because I was experiencing low blood sugars. I've been feeling dizzy for the last couple of months & it's very difficult for me to get through the day. Idk what's if it's the trulicity or what. But I tried not taking it one week & my sugar level was high, i took the trulicity & it went back to normal. My doctor has to do something about how I've been feeling because i can't go on like this. Pray for me, guys.👏🏿

Yes, have a question on the Trulicity: on the NIH website there was a person who had developed a "stomach ache" which turned out to be a blockage of the small bowel. How common is this and was there any info for the % of those who may have experienced this for rest of us?

It sounds great I'm type 2 and my a1 c is high thanx for the tips luv the video❤

I appreciate the breakdown on using the medication especially leaving it out for month,but I'll leave it out today and start using it tomorrow along with 15 min stationary bike twice a week we'll see how it goes thnk you so much,glad I tuned into your channel

If my last c-peptide was .5, GAD65 and antibodies were normal and negative am I a type 1 or type 2? The last Endocrinologist said type 2 but the current guy says type 1? I'm on the Medtronic system.

Just took my 4th dose of Bydureon BCise. I'm not nervous anymore about taking it because of this video. Side effects so far have been very minimal. Thank you for making this video.

For the first time in my life (outside of the ER), a doctor tested my BG, which was part of their routine well check exam. My non-fasting BG was 50. I had eaten a snack in the waiting room approximately 20 mins before the blood test. My A1C came back as 4.8. My PCP had me come back to test 6 months later, with a 67 non-fasting BG. I’m a non-diabetic, no alcohol for over 4 years, and do not take medications that lower blood sugar. I’ve had dizzy spells that resolve with a carb-rich snack since I was a child. I have intense sweating and shakiness in the morning that resolves in about 15 minutes after breakfast. I could go on. Essentially, I have the “Whipple Triad,” but I don’t know what’s causing this & I want to find out. What additional tests should I request to investigate the cause? Everything I can find is talking about diabetes and low blood sugar being “rare” outside of diabetes. Also seeing tons of stuff about reactive hypoglycemia, which is not what I’m experiencing. I don’t have a high carbohydrate diet and eat healthy, exercise regularly, the whole works. What am I dealing with?

Bro, i thought i was going crazy. I've seen my primary, 2 ENT, allergist, cardiologist, gastroenterologist. All told me it was anxiety. Finally 1 general practitioner told me to make a diet diary. I noticed right away that eating sugar (candy, bread, erc)made me feel better but i was like "this cant be good either". Luckly my A1C is below prediabetic, so im not diabetic. I bought CGM and it changed my life. I found out that there were specific foods that were spiking my glucose and so i was avoiding them. This is where i started to feel worse, probably because my body was used to high glucose. This video completly said the truth. When (fake) hypoglycemia hits me i used to eat high carbs, then once i used CGM i ated little carbs just to take the edge off ( its likes drugs or something). There was an episode where i was going through a fake hypoglycemia (my sugar was 110) and i was stuck in traffic on the passenger seat. I thought i was going to black out. After half an hour of this horrible feeling, it all went away like it was nothing. Poof gone. Then i actually felt hungry but no urge for sugar. Crazy how the body works. I'll be buying apples and peanut butter. Thank you for this video.

I took my first injection today. I hope I don’t get nauseous. We will see.

I was just prescribed Metformin as I’m pre-diabetic, I’ll have to see if I do ok, thank you for the information

Hi, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering about nocturnal hypo in someone who is not living with diabetes but might have insulin resistant.

Does the needle come in the pen or box?

??? How do you minimize constipation if you are already taking a medication such as an opioid that slows down digestion? I just started the lowest dose of Trulicity for a month and then the plan is to increase to the next dose. Any tips will be appreciated. Very informative and interesting video. Thank You.

Thank you. Your info is great!

Thank you for making this very informative video. I am planning to start my first dose in the next few days after the weekend. In the meantime I will definitely watch your other video on this class of medication so I have a better understanding how it works, etc. I subscribed to your channel and gave you a thumbs up too. They are well deserved thank you so much for your help.
