[QUOTE="Johnhawkins53, post: 406375, member: 77632"] I've been on Bydureon since April. Metformin and sitagliptin etc, weren't having the desired effect, so my diabetes nurse recommended trying Bydureon. Didn't have a problem with injecting myself - the literature with the injection kits is very clear if you follow the instructions carefully. Result? It took a while to kick in, but after 6-8 weeks, my blood sugar levels were down lower than they have been for ages, so I'm happy about that, and feeling the positive effects. As the effectiveness of the injections increased, so did the side effects - for me, indigestion, constipation and occasional nausea. I'm told that side effects will decrease with time - we'll see! A positive side effect is a loss of appetite, so I'm eating less now and have lost some weight (very welcome, although I wasn't particularly overweight to start with!) Recommended to give it a try if your GP or diabetes nurse thinks it would help (it's certainly not suitable for everybody). Just remember that you have to be patient for it to take effect - the literature suggests 4-6 weeks - I'd give it 6-8 weeks.
