Has anyone experienced acute pancreatitis due to Trulicity?

It's been three months since I was in Or other meds that work through the pancreas? I ended up in the hospital, have now been put on only insulin and metformin. It's been about three months since I was in the hospital and now the pains are starting again and am waiting for a call from the doctor for blood work. I'm hoping it hasn't become chronic, diabetes is hard enough to live with. Ugh

Advocates

Are there advocates that can negotiate for us with the drug manufacturers and health insurance when we fall into coverage gaps, or just can't afford the newer non-generic drugs; for example, Trulicity?

My sugar is almost always high in the morning. Limit what you eat after 7pm helps and only water after 7 also to help flush things out.

I am having a terrible time eating too many carbs. It’s like I have no willpower with certain foods.

I love bread...bagels, english muffins, biscuits...you name it. I can’t stop buying it as there are others in my household. There are other carb heavy foods that I like, but that I eat in moderation. Everything except bread. What should I do?
