Diabetes, Type 2
"I was on Byetta for about 6 years and it worked wonders for me. I lost 70 lbs. in the first few months, but the 35 of them have crept back on. I&#039;ve been on Bydureon for about 18 months. I&#039;ve had no side effects other than the little lumps. My wife is an RN and suggested using thinner needles. I told her they wouldn&#039;t work but she tried anyway. She was unable to push the Bydureon in, so back to the thick needle. I have not enjoyed the weight loss effect with Bydureon. My Dr. has just given me a prescription for the new pen, however, Walgreens does not yet have it available. I have found no information that says it is actually being sold yet. The pen comes with a needle, same thickness but a fraction shorter."
