[QUOTE="))Denise((, post: 335491, member: 27532"] I'm not on Bydureon so can't comment on that. But it sounds like you are not getting on with it. My next question would be what is your diet like? Have you taken the advice on here to cut carbs or are you expecting the meds to do everything? I see that you are on a relatively small dose of metformin at 2 x 500 mg, when the maximum dose is 4 x 500 mg. Is there any reason for that, such as stomach problems? Also you are not on the maximum dose of gliclazide. Were any other meds suggested to you such as sitagliptin (Januvia) as this works in a different way to both the metformin and the gliclazide. Are you overweight? I see that you are 70 years old, so probably not a candidate for late onset Type 1 (LADA). I'm not on blood pressure tablets, so can't comment on them. Was there any reason why you were put on them such as kidney problems? I'm sure other people will be along soon with their comments and Daisy with her introductory post, but it would be useful if you could answer these questions so we have further details to go on.
