I have been on Trulicity for only 3 days, but we are going out for dinner tonight. I just wanted to know if anyone else that is on Trulicity has had a wine or two with a meal, with no side effects.
Is it OK to have 1-2 wines with dinner whilst on Trulicity ?

Interactions between your drugs
Moderate
ethanol dulaglutide
Applies to: Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol), Trulicity (dulaglutide)
Talk to your doctor before using ethanol together with dulaglutide. Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
