Improving your A1C is important

If your blood sugar isn’t where it needs to be, Trulicity may help. Trulicity helps your body do what it’s supposed to do—release its own insulin. This may help lower your blood sugar.

Trulicity starts lowering blood sugar from the first dose, along with diet and exercise.

Trulicity helped lower A1C at 36 weeks, and was shown to help maintain A1C reduction at one year.*

*In Trulicity studies with other diabetes medication, the average A1C reduction ranged from 0.7% to 1.6% for 0.75mg and 1.5mg. In a separate study with other diabetes medication, A1C reduction ranged from 1.5% for 1.5mg, to 1.8% for 4.5mg. 52 week results are based on additional information from the same study.
