Yes very true, it does work alot better then just metformin. If your over weight, it will also help you lose some. I have lost 20 pounds so far ..
Metformin gave me almost constant diarrhea so I switched to Januvia (ridiculously expensive) and Glimiperide. After a while that no longer worked either, and when my A1C got up to 8.9, my endocrinologist recommended Trulicity and Glimiperide. The first 1.5 Trulicity had me sicker than a dog for ten days on the couch. Switching to .75 is much better.
I am not on it either. Metformin sometimes gives me diarrhea.
I was on the couch for ten days sicker than sick. Doctor switched me from 1.5 to .75 and that made all the difference in the world.
Had 1st dose last saturday.Made me sick as anything.
