Is Trulicity insulin?

Trulicity is NOT insulin. Trulicity helps activate your body to release its own insulin, like it's supposed to.

In adults with type 2 diabetes

Trulicity is proven to help lower A1C^*

Q: How does Trulicity help control blood sugar?

Trulicity can limit how much sugar gets into your blood from your liver. It helps slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach. It helps your pancreas release insulin in response to high levels of sugar in your blood after you eat.

It lowers blood sugar from the first dose, and seeing the impact of one change may motivate you to make more of them.
