Diabetes, Type 2
"I&#039;ve been on Bydureon for 18 months, and used Byetta for 8 months before that.  I switched from the Byetta because I couldn&#039;t handle the digestive upset any more, but the results were amazing.  My a1c has come down to the 5.7-5.9 level consistently.  Fasting BG is in the 80s normally.  I haven&#039;t had any of the stomach upset with Bydureon.  The shots are a pain and I don&#039;t think I like the pen very much since I can&#039;t control the shot as well.  I tend to have leakage with the pen and sometimes hit a sensitive spot and it hurts.  But since I started taking this class of drug my health is so much better!  I&#039;ve lost 95 lbs. and the health problems from diabetes have disappeared.  This could be a lifesaver for me!"
