Diabetes, Type 2
"I have been on Bydureon since 11/12.  My A1c has gone from 9.5 to 6.0 and I am off of all insulin.  When I first started the med I was 5&#039;2 and 187 pounds.  I am now just over 10 months later 138 lbs.  This has worked miracles for me as none of the oral medications helped me at all.  I have not had any side effects.  The shot is a bit painful but I&#039;ve found if you let it warm up about 15 minutes it&#039;s a little easier. I do have hard knots at the injection site which last few weeks so I rotate where I give the injection. If you are just starting out on Bydureon and want to give up, try to hang on a little while longer.  It did not work for me right away and did take about 8-10 weeks before I started noticing the benefits."
