I have been using Bydureon for three months as well as my ususal tablet medication.
Immediately before starting on Bydureon, my Hba thingy was 7.5. I was told to do another Hba after the first month as that was when my regular three month Hba was due. My result was 8.9. I was not happy. My latest Hba in December was 8.2 and I am still not happy as it was only 7.5 before the Bydureon. I think that three months is enough time [twelve injections] for Bydureon to take effect. I do keep to a sensible diet and do not smoke or drink.
Last week I got in touch with my specialist diabetes nurse and gave her the following information. Since taking Bydureon I have continually experienced most of the side effects. That is sickness, flatulence, burping, continual sleeping, bad breath, foul taste in the mouth, lethargy and worst of all acidity. All these to a rather unpleasant degree.
As I already have Omeprazole for an ulcer the acidity was of some concern. I was feeling the same symptoms of a 'leaking' ulcer that I experienced some fifteen years ago. That is, a lot of reflux and pain in my stomach. The other side effects were such that It was not possible to be in company for obvious reasons.
As a result, I have been told to stop the Bydureon for four weeks. I have been Bydureon free for omly four days and already I feel much improved. I don't think that I shall go back to it after the four weeks.
I would be interested to hear other peoples views of their Bydureon experiences.
