Brian (bsc) replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"That is awesome! It would be useful for your doctor to figure out whether the Onglyza or metformin caused you problems. Metformin is such an effective and safe medication, it would be a shame to permanently exclude it's use if it isn't a…"
Lisa replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"I have just been diagnosed as a diabetic not a good feeling when you are 28. But I took the metformin the doctor gave me and really started exercising and we got the numbers to go down a little but still stayed in the 200's. So I was started on…"
Babs replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"I know that this thread has not been active for awhile. But for anyone else seeking info on Bydureon, my experience might be of interest. At first, my BC's were high. Literature said it takes 2 weeks, but for me at about 6 weeks I'm…"
Anita Logan replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Hi guys. I was on Bydureon for 2 months with no effects. My H1C actually went up. My doctor took me off and put me on Lantus, which is working great. I don't mind the shots at all, compared to the Bydureon injections. Anita"
Carl Edholm replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"I don't feel ill...but its lacking the effect I was hoping so far. Ive started running and walking regimen as well. no tremendous effect.
I hope Januvia works for you! good luck."
Prompter Bob replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"I asked my doctor to stop taking it after 2 weeks. Just made me feel ill. Didn't notice any drop in BG. Doc put me on Januvia. We'll see how that goes. Hope Bydureon works for you!"
Carl Edholm replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Im on shot 5 of Bydureon and my sugars are dropping slightly. My weight is the same. I'm hoping that by week 8 as promised I will see an upside to using this drug. Fingers still crossed. Good luck to you all."
Prompter Bob replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Sounds very promising. Fingers crossed for both of us."
Anita Logan replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Bob, If you are asking if I've lost weight, I have not but I just finished a vacation at Hilton Head, SC, so I ate more than I would have, or should have.

Prompter Bob replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Hi Anita. That's really good news. Hope my experience will be similar. Have you seen any positive results?"
Anita Logan replied to Anita Logan's discussion 'Just been prescribed Bydureon...'"Hi Bob, Take heart, I have not had one single episode of nausea or other side effects yet (fingers crossed).
