Hi All

I was diagnosed about 5 years ago with Type II. Since then I have been up and down, good and bad. For the last few months, very bad. Last time I had an HBA1C it was 11.1. My BG can be anything up to 27 ish. I'm 44, I weigh 12st 11 and I'm about 5' 11 so I'm probably a few pounds over weight.

I've tried different regimes and I'm supposed to be on the twice a day one at the moment but I just cannot get into the swing of it.

I've got to the stage where I'm ashamed to go back to the doctor! I've heard about this once a week injection but I'm not sure what it's called.

Can anyone let me know their experience of this please?

Regards

A
 
Hi 2610 and welcome to the forum :)

The medication is called Bydureon and is an Exenatide. You will find at least one thread on it in the Diabetes Medication and Drugs forum.
