Diabetes, Type 2
"On Bydureon about a year.  I&#039;m 57, been diagnosed type 2 Diabetic for about 8 years. On Insulin + Metformin.  Doc prescribed this for me originally because I just couldn&#039;t get my A1C below 7.0 even though my daily numbers rarely climbed over 130 even right after eating.



The Pros:  A1C dropped into the low 4&#039;s and remains at that level.  Lost 20 - 25 lbs and the weight has stayed off.  Pen device is not difficult to set up and use once a week, takes about 5 minutes max to do the injection routine and I&#039;ve only had 1 instance total in a year&#039;s time of a pen not working properly.



The Cons: HUGE needle that hurts. Bad nausea after injection and occasional itchy hard lumps at injection site. One major B/sugar crash - low 50&#039;s."
