    How can Trulicity benefit you

    Blood sugar levels

    In studies, Trulicity has been proven to lower blood sugar levels. Trulicity starts acting in your body from the first dose.† In some studies, most people taking Trulicity noted better blood sugar numbers before eating in the morning (fasting blood sugar).

    †The first dose may start lowering blood sugar.

    A1C reduction

    Trulicity may offer lasting A1C improvements. In a study, some Trulicity users saw a significant improvement when their A1C was measured after 6 months, and it was still improved after they had been taking Trulicity for 1 year. If you do not reach your A1C goal after 6 months, talk to your healthcare provider about adjusting your medications, diet, or exercise routine.
