Hi there, I was diagnosed type 2 just under 2 years ago now.
I have been unable to take Metformin due to stomach issues, even the XR version.
I was successfully given Gliclazide but it was a little too good and I was moved to Januvia.
Nothing seemed to work, was given saxagliptin, then sitagliptin, eventually the highest dose of Glimeperide along with Pioglitazone. The Pioglitazone gave me heart failure, so have now been given Bydureon.
Currently on week 5 and no change in my readings, but I have lost a stone!!
How long is it supposed to take to start working?
