[QUOTE="T2+CFS, post: 335862, member: 53992"] Hi. I have had T2 for the last two years. I also unfortunately have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME as it is known for the last 15 years. Due to severe fatigue I cannot exercise and it has been hard for me to control the T2 diabetes with tablets. My HBAIc rose to 9.3 and by increasing my meds and cutting carbs have got back to 8.0 (65). With ME you get periods of remission and relapses, but I have been in a relapse for the last six months and have been housebound with fatigue and muscle pain. The doctor has suggested a three month trial of bydureon, which I will start in the New Year. I was concerned by the side effects of nausea and sickness that I have read about. The doctor said I will have to have blood tests to check my kidney function. She says that as my blood glucose levels are running too high, the energy cannot get into my cells causing fatigue. I seem to have a double problem as I already have Chronic Fatigue and she said Diabetes also causes fatigue. I seem to have gone downhill the last six months and the doctor can offer no treatment for ME, so she is hoping better diabetic control may offer me some more energy. I should have started these injections this week, but have posponed until after christmas, hopefully I may feel stronger before trying it. I wonder whether any other members also have CFS and diabetes, or whether you are also trying Bydureon. I am currently taking two metformin, (my tolerance level is only two tablets due to stomach upsets) 3 1/2 glycizide, 1 januvia, I thought the injection was instead of the tablets, but I have been told that they will take out the Januvia only. I welcome any advice on this bydureon and if has helped. Does everyone get the nausea? The doctor and the nurse both mentioned nausea, this is why I thought it better to try after christmas as I am already feeling very weak with fatigue. Best wishes to you all - [/QUOTE]
