What is dulaglutide?

Dulaglutide is like a helper that helps your body control its food energy better.

Imagine you have a special remote control that tells your body when to say "I'm full" after eating. Sometimes, this remote gets stuck or doesn’t work as well, and your body might not know it's full, so you eat more than needed. That’s kind of what happens with some people who have type 2 diabetes.

Dulaglutide is like a super remote control that helps the old one work better again. It sends messages to your brain saying "I'm full" even when your body might not notice it, which can help you eat less and feel more in control of your food energy.

How It Works

Think of your body as a robot with sensors that tell it what’s going on. Dulaglutide helps the sensor that checks how much food is coming in to work better, it makes sure your brain knows when enough is enough, helping you manage your blood sugar levels and feel more comfortable.

You take dulaglutide once a week, like putting a sticker on your wrist, simple and easy!
