What Is Trulicity?

Type 2 diabetes is treated with an injectable medication called Trulicity (Dulaglutide). Trulicity works by increasing insulin production in response to meals, slowing the release of sugar from the liver, and reducing the appetite. This medication helps to control blood sugar levels and is used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Trulicity may also help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

How Does Trulicity Work?

Trulicity mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) to help regulate blood sugar levels. After meals, GLP-1 helps to release insulin from the pancreas, which lowers blood glucose. Trulicity works similarly, stimulating insulin production when blood sugar levels are elevated, while also reducing sugar production in the liver. This helps to prevent spikes in blood sugar, making it easier for people with type 2 diabetes to manage their condition.
