Welcome to the forum @Maureen McDowall

How are things going with the Trulicity? Are there any particular worries or concerns you have about the combination of meds you are taking? Are you experiencing any side effects? Are they helping you manage your blood glucose levels?

Most of our members find that any meds they take need to be balanced with their diet and levels of activity (metformin to insulin, and everything in between).

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time Hopefully, by sharing experiences with other members, you can get the extra support and encouragement you need.
