Diabetes medication and Parkinsons

[Old_Dave]

Can anybody please confirm that I saw/heard a program that reported Exanatide has been shown to be effective in the relief of symptoms of Parkinson's. I am certain that this was last week and I need to find the program as it is relevant to my situation, thanks.

I don't know about the programme, but if you type "exenatide parkinson's disease" in Google many items about it appear.

Thanks for that Bluetit1802 - thats just an example of memory loss when you forget simple things such as Google it.

Certainly covered on national news and media a week or so ago.
