Trulicity

Trulicity (dulaglutide) is a prescription medication used to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Trulicity works by stimulating insulin production, slowing digestion, and reducing glucose production in the liver. This once-weekly injectable medication helps improve glycemic control and may also support weight loss in some patients.

Trulicity is often prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to enhance diabetes management. Unlike insulin, it does not replace naturally occurring insulin but helps the body use it more effectively. Studies show that can also lower the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes.

Patients using Trulicity should follow their doctor’s guidance and be aware of possible side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. With consistent use, can be an effective tool for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and improving overall health.
