Type 2
so I'm type 2, I inject with trulicity once a week and take dapagliflozin daily. I'm rapidly losing weight and being 32 I'm thinking it maybe now or never, has anyone fallen pregnant on this medication or known they where type 2, how did this affect the pregnancy.
 
You should ask to be referred to the Diabetic Preconception team at your local hospital.
 
Yes, speak to your team.

You can't just fall pregnant as a diabetic, not a good idea for you or the baby xx
 
Also you can't take trulicity whilst pregnant so I guess that would have to be planned when to come off that.
 
Definitely check with GP / pharmacist about safety in pregnancy of any medications you are taking. Ask GP to refer you to Diabetes / Pregnancy specialist team of medics and midwives. They can advise you about topics such as folic acid (and prescribe the right dose) and all other aspects. Unplanned pregnancy with any type of diabetes is not a good idea.
