For Type 2 Diabetes "I started taking Bydureon 15 weeks ago with an A1C of 9. Today it is 6.1. The beginning side effects were mild and tolerable, the injections are not painful at all. Those are the positive things. Unfortunately, this past week I have had extreme headaches, lethargy, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting. All of my lab tests are perfectly normal, my doctor wants me to continue the medication. My pharmacist wants me to stop. I cannot directly correlate how I feel with the medication, but I have no other logical explanation. If anyone has any information or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone!!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "When I first began using Bydureon BCise, it worked great. I didn't have any side effects until after taking it for several months. Sometimes the nausea was mild, and other times it made me feel like I was near death, but after I began eating Greek yogurt before my injections, it definitely helped with the nausea. My biggest complaint is, after using Bydureon BCise over a year, I began having problems with just about every injection. I dealt with faulty injections for several months and finally decided to have my doctor switch me to something else."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started this medication along with Januvia and have been taking Januvia once a day and Metformin twice a day. I am on my second week. Doing okay, but the injection sites are lumpy, red, painful, and itchy. My endocrinologist says this is normal and takes about six weeks for the lumps to disappear. I am using an ice pack to calm the itchiness and pain. Every now and then, I feel a little nauseous, but I drink ginger tea and I’m okay. Hope this all calms down with time. My BS numbers are good in the normal range."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Took my first injection on Friday night, along with 500 mg Metformin and Jardiance 25 mg in the morning. On Friday night and Saturday, I had severe cramps in my legs and hands. I couldn’t leave home. Sunday, I vomited after drinking a smoothie and felt nauseated after having my dinner. I soaked in Epsom salt and hydrated with alkaline water. The cramps got better, but I was still nauseated. Sipping on peppermint tea. Hope the nausea goes away, or I won’t be taking this again. I really want it to work for me, as I could benefit from the improved cholesterol and heart health, as well as reduced A1C. #praying"
