For Type 2 Diabetes "Coupled with continuous glucose meter, improved A1c down to 5.8 and lost some weight. Have experienced some apparently common moderate side effects including intermittent nausea, bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation/diarrhea, dizziness. So far, benefits outweigh bothersome discomfort. Easy to use weekly."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I am only on week 2, so I am going to give it a shot, even though I am experiencing some side effects. I am a DMII with an A1C of 11.0. I have experienced a lot of dizziness, (I have BP issues as well), feeling bloated, diarrhea, and blurry vision. I can only hope these effects go away with time, as I really want to be on this medication for DM and weight loss."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Lower doses caused constipation, at the highest dose of 2, I experienced a full day of being sick to my stomach after injection. On these days, I ate saltine crackers and drank Coke Zero. The following days, I felt bloated and experienced burping and gas. However, I continued to lose weight, and my A1c was down to 7.6."

"I'm on week 5 in a few days. Started at 0.25 cc inj. Mild nausea and headaches. 5' 10'', 186 initial weight. I'm 40 lbs overweight. I tried to eat right and exercise, but the weight was not budging. Just going up, and I'm very active outside. Today I'm down 10 pounds, it's a slow process for me, it seems. Very little appetite, and you can't eat much at one time or you feel terrible, bloated, nauseated, headaches... but I'm determined to drop another 30 lbs. I'm just surprised at how little I eat for a portion and am completely full... and still the weight clings on. I could not do it without this drug."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After taking this, I was very, very unwell, ended up in ICU-fighting to stay alive. I was unable to eat for 2 weeks, unable to hold fluids down, eggy burps all the time, pure acidic stomach pains! And bloating, this time I have been put on a smaller dosage as a trial and still have egg burps, acidic stomach, and bloating with pains! Feeling sick, hopefully gets better, otherwise, I will not take it ever again! Gave me bad diarrhea this time round, unlike last time, it was all vomiting & very weak."
