Started taking soliqua 100/33 2weeks ago and it working good. But the dexcom test meter is the best thing I've got.

This has been the first of this type injector (Ozempic, Trulicity, Soliqua) that has actually worked. The others did absolutely nothing for my blood sugar. Have been on this since 2018 and for me it has been a God send. First drug to actual work for many frustrating years for myself and my Endocrinologist. I do take Metformin alongside. After about 3 months use I have no longer had struggles with my A1C. Like all drugs, some work for others and some do not. For me it has been great.

I was on it for 3 days but couldn't tolerate the 30units the Dr started me in. I stopped UT & went back to 70/30. Then dr talked me into trying again at 15units a day. I was able to tolerate & am at 35 units daily. It hasn't lowered my blood sugar at all. Actually blood sugar has gone up & stayed 250-300. I'm taking novolog before meals but nothing is lowering it. Dr says still alit of wiggle room & I can increase slowly to 60 units. Idk if I should. I go back to dr in 2wks & will discuss more. I can definitely tell it's working on my other hormones though.Read More Read Less

About 2 hours after injection I have a lot of gas(belching), heart burn and some acid reflux which last 6-7 hours. It has not lowered my blood sugars levels. When this supply is gone I am going back to the Tresiba pen.
