Hi boys and girls,just found this topic,I've been on exenetide since start of july 2011.was on 5mg for 1st month with a reduction of gliclazide from 4 tabs to 1,kept having hypos in second and third month,on 10mg so gp stopped glic.hypos stopped ,bloods have been between 4 and 8 at various times of day.weight gone from 118kg to 110kg so far.(was 155kg in 1998)
have terrible problems with nausea,stomach pains and oral wind,especially after evening meal.going to try cutting out fizzy drinks(sugar free)which i drink a lot of,( i dont drink any hot drinks)see if this helps.also feel very warm,hot flushes sometimes, and have had several dizzy spells (could be blood pressure),keeping eye on that also.
also on 4 metformin per day.work as postman and do a lot of walking.i find that i dont feel like eating much anymore,also it feels like the mechanism that triggers feeling full has been switched on,and i have had to reduce portion sizes and stop eating when im full.
crystalized ginger helps a bit with indergestion etc.
will let you know about fizzy drink experiment.
having HBA1C test in october so gp may have to tweak drugs.
