DAPAGLIFLOZIN vs DULAGLUTIDE

I’m honestly so happy I’m not even sure how I feel. Back in July I unexpectedly found out I was diabetic after finding a high amount of sugar in my urine and being urged to go to the ER for immediate bloodwork. I’ve been put on 5mg of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) the last month or so and have been keepi

I used to take Xigduo and it was covered just fine on my previous insurance, but then I lost my job and had to get a plan off the healthcare marketplace. They have a fairly large deductible for prescriptions and charge coinsurance on name-brand drugs, so even after using a manufacturer's coupon I'd

So I just got my first CGM and I'm loving it! Previously, I was finger pricking and noticed that my waking BG was always higher than it was the rest of the day. I suspected Dawn Phenomenon, as it would be 120 odd and then settle down to 80-90 throught the day, with the odd spike upt to 120-140 after

I know 6 days is a small window, but hear me out. Diabetic for 9 years. Maintained it below 7 till 6 months back. Met with accident on 6th Oct, thumb got amputated just below nail. Found out during surgery blood tests Hba1c was 8 ( stress and stress eating in last 6 months pushed it up). Surgeon s

Hi, my dad (58) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost a year ago. My dad drinks alcohol occasionally and is a non-smoker. Last December 6, 2024, his HbA1c increased from 7.5 to 8.1. We were a bit complacent with my dad's diet, and as a family of 5, we also had some lapses. We want to be stricter

Hi everyone, well I had a terrible year last year which brought on a huge amount of stress, due to mental health issues with my daughter and also working in a high pressured environment. I am a self-employed consultant so I have to work as I am the main breadwinner for the family. My diabetic contr

I mentioned in this thread about how Lilly was presenting retatrutide this summer.

hello friends,I’m a Chinese who plan to study in Canada.I have type 2 diabetes,and take GLP-1 drugs “Trulicity (Dulaglutide)”4 pens/mouth. I asked online and learned that 1 tube of it around 250 CAD,a mouth will be 1000 CAD,which is 8 times the price I used in China. I can’t afford it. I want to ask

The British Cardiovascular Society just published a detailed breakdown of the SURPASS-CVOT trial, which compared tirzepatide head-to-head against dulaglutide in over 13,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease . Tirzepatide met the bar for noninferiority which means t

Hello ! I'm an agronomist engineer who works with data. My family is full of physicians, and growing up around medicine gave me a respect for the Hippocratic oath and a curiosity about drug safety. I started exploring FAERS (the FDA's adverse event reporting system, 30M+ spontaneous reports) and rea

I just started taking Trulicity today and am curious about other people's experiences with it. Has your A1C improved? Have you lost weight? Anything else notable about it? So far I feel like I'm less hungry, more full feeling; though that may just be placebo. Thank you to anywho who shares their ex
