Good morning all. This is my initial post as a new member. I would like feedback as to my experience with Bydureon, please.
I return to the diabetic clinic tomorrow, Monday, 10th after my first three months on Bydureon. After my first month I was called to my doctor's surgery to do an Hba test. It revealed that my blood sugar was out of control, my surgery nurses words. My blood sugar was 8.9. Before starting on Bydureon my blood sugar was 7.2.
I have found that using Bydureon that the following is true.
Feeling tired/weak and sleeping during the day.
Unpleasant body odour and bad breath.
Stomach acidity.
I now find that after eating a 'proper dinner/meal' I usually feel ill.
If I do without a proper meal and eat small, sandwiches etc, often during the day, my weight increases.
Generally, I feel that Bydureon has not had the effects that I was told that it would have. Also that Bydureon only brings the blood sugar down by no more than around 1.9% Now if your blood sugar is normally between, say 7.0 and 11.0 after a meal, then I am wondering whether the whole thing is really worthwhile. After all 1.9% of 11.0 is 0.209.
I am also taking Metformin, two 500 mg's per day, one Gliclazide, 80mg per day and a blood pressure tablet, even though I have never had any problems with blood pressure. I am am an otherwise healthy 70 year old male. Thank you for reading this. :?:
