- Ever wonder about medicines like Trulicity, Ozempic, or Victoza? These diabetes medications all work in a similar way in the management of Type 2 Diabetes and improving A1c. In this video, I discuss the natural role of GLP-1 in managing blood glucose, how these medications fit into that role, what the benefits are, and what the side effects are.
A couple corrections to the video:
At 1:52, I misspoke and said "glycogen" instead of "glucagon"
At 2:33, I accidentally said "insulin" instead of "intestine".
Sorry about any confusion.
As promised in the video, here are links to relevant studies on the cardiovascular safety/potential benefits of these medications:

Bydureon: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056...
Victoza: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056...

In France, Ozempic and Trulucity cost 89€ for a months supply and covered 100 % by the Insurance if you’re a diabetic.
This guy is amazing at explaining things
Since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 6 or 8 years ago, I have been using metformin, and totally unable to lose weight. Believe me, I tried every diet on the map and was unable to lose weight. I asked my doctor about Ozempic after hearing tremendous success of a co-worker. I just finished my fourth pen and have lost 15 pounds! My morning glucose has dropped by 40 or 50 points. Can’t wait till my upcoming appointment to see what happened to my last A1C of 6.3. Thank you for the video. I learned a lot, and was wondering about the cancer issue also.
Looove how well u can talk on this topic in a easy to understand way! Fab info packed vid 😃 Def going to check out ur playlist
i love all your videos because of the honesty of what you said. And keeps it that way.
Very nice overview of GLP 1 agonists! And this is from a retired PA :) Well done!
First time watching your video. I have to say thank you I was unable to make a decision but you have made everything so clear. Thank you
You asked for stories and feedback. I've had type-2 diabetes for over a decade now. Metformin works for me to some degree, but it is inconsistent, didn't manage my A1C well, and it's a lot of pills to take, so when I learned about Trulicity (T), I asked my doctor about it right away. The experience with T was great. I'm a huge baby when it comes to needles, but as you mentioned in another video, the injection system T uses is great, and most of the time, I don't feel the injection at all. I love it, it works great, and now I can inject myself once a week rather than much Metformin all day every day. I did have some minor side effects from Trulicity, such as occasional nausea and other intestinal hijinx, but for the most part, it was fine. I did lose some weight, not much, but the better part was that I was able to keep my existing weight pretty steady regardless of what I ate or how much exercise I got.
Thank you so much on the very simple and clear explanation. I feel so much better about what my doctor is trying to do to help me. I was very resistant to trying these meds but now you have reduced my fear and anxiety about them and I am looking forward to trying them.
EXCELLENT video as usual ❤️
I wish I would have seen this video 4 years ago when I went on long-release insulin combined with glipizide. I was recommended a GLP-1, but the black box label scared me because of thyroid issues in my family. I've recently been having some low blood sugar scares in the middle of the night. I just messaged my doctor about switching to a GLP-1. Thanks for all of your info!!!!
Your channel is wonderful! I'm an ambulatory care pharmacist working with patients with diabetes and these videos are so useful! I love the "possibilities and not promises" for adverse effects.
You've been incredibly helpful to me with my diagnosis last month, putting my mind at ease with these "scary" shots that aren't so scary anymore. I hope you eventually do a deep dive into Victoza, as that's the pen my doctor prescribed me. Can't wait for the next video (hopefully soon)!
Very informative. Easy to understand. Thank you for the video!
Very good video. The reason I looked up your video was because of the cancer warning. You made it easy to understand the risk.
Just about to start a glp-1 treatment and this video helped me understand how it works and feel better about taking it.
Thanks for your insight. I have been on Trulicity for around 6 months and it has been a real game changer for my type 2 diabetes. My sugar levels have gone from through the roof high to near enough to perfect. It is super easy to use every Sunday night. I had some very mild side effects the first time I used it but nothing worth noting. Most times I inject I barely feel the shot and have to check it actually worked 😅 I can highly recommend. Thanks Greg
Your videos are a perfect balance of entertaining, understandable, and informative.
Excellent video! Learned a lot, and I thought I already knew a lot. 😎
Thanks for the video, and to answer your question yes I have been on Trulicity for about 2 years
