[QUOTE="Mr Micawber, post: 335848, member: 53913"] Good morning all, I have now been to the hospital diabetic clinic for my Bydureon check. The first thing, before I forget, is this. The 1.9% that I assumed to be 1.9% of whatever your blood sugar is, is wrong. Apparently the 1.9% is the approximate maximum amount that your blood sugar can fall. For example, if your blood sugar is 10.9 then using Bydureon alongside any other medication that you may be taking, your blood sugar can fall to 9.0. I was wrongly told that it would fall by only 1.9% of the 10.9. As for my other queries about using Bydureon. The diabetic staff are pleased with my first three months. At the start of the Bydureon medication my Hba was 7.5. After one month of using Bydureon my Hba was 8.9. this was taken at my doctors surgery, as it was the original three months time span for my Hba. Both me and the surgery were concerned about the amount of the blood sugar increase. Although I was told that, at first, when starting on Bydureon, my blood sugars would rise, I didn't think that they would rice by such, in my opinion, a high amount. Yesterday, my Hba was down to 7.9 and everyone is pleased with the progress that I have made after the first three months on Bydureon. As for the other medication, I have now been told that the Metformin, Gliclazide, Omeprazole, Lossartum and Co-enzymes are prescribed at the dosages they are because of a long standing stomach problem. There is also talk of even reducing the dosage of Metformin because of the risk to long term kidney problems. So, overall, I am pleased that I raised the questions that I had and happy that I posted in this forum beforehand. I am now giving the Bydureon 'treatment system, a further three months. My only problem is Christmas. Both the diabetic staff and myself realise that I may stray from the 'straight and narrow' but it will not be to excess. The side effects of the bad breath and body odour have been put to one side for the next three months [I am able to deal with them with proprietry consumables], when they will be dealt with depending upon the next Hba results. That's about it. Sorry if I have dragged on but I did want to give as much information as I could. Kind Christmas regards to all. Oh! If anyone wants to, please feel free to get in touch. Don't be worrying over something when there is assistance available here. :D [/QUOTE]
