Hello

I am hoping someone can help me. I had been on Dapagliflozin with gliclazide for my type 2 Diabetes for over 2 years with my levels being originally high 20’s down to average of 7.9. Over that period I lost about a stone in weight but my weight had stabilised. Then in February my diabetic nurse changed my medicine to Trulicity stating the reason this would help with further weight loss and bring my sugars down further. Sounded good to me. However over the last 12 weeks I have nausea, stomach pains and the runs for 3 days then I feel ok until my next jab. I also get frequent bought of heartburn and now depression. My nurse keeps saying it will get better. Personally I think not and wonder if they took me off dapagliflozin due to the cost.

Any idea how to approach this as my nurse doesn’t seem to want to help or listen and I am at the end of tether.
