Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patsuiter" data-source="post: 482240" data-attributes="member: 68504">I have been advised by a GP friend to try using Exenatide (Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptoe agonists) This is a sub cut injectable drug for type 11 diabetes taken before meals - there is also a weekly inj avaialbe too. It can reduce HbAIc  by .6-1%. Also reduces Fasting BSL 1-1.4 mmol and post meal BSL by 20.--3.0 mmol. Also trial ahve shown reduction in weight of .8kg to 1.4kg. The long acting inject is even better results. I got all my info from the Australian Prescriber Vol 31/No 4/ Aug 2008.I am assuming that the drug is the same name in UK as i'm in Australia. Big advantage to this type of drug is it only acts when stimualted by carbohydrates - no hypo's.Anyone tried it or other similar drugs? Use is recommended in conjunction with Metformin.</blockquote>
