The nausea is a real problem for me. The reason I lost weight was that I couldn't eat much. The inject site STILL has itching and lumps in spite of the fact that I started in my abdomen a month ago and it's still hard, red and itching.

I was prescribed this medication for my newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes.

I really waited a long time for this medicine to be approved. I loved the fact that it was so convenient with a dose of once a week. But the side effect was hard on my stomach: Painful heartburn and acid indigestion.

It is wonderful to have a medication that not only works but I only have to take once a week. I used to have to worry about taking my medication with me (Byetta) when dining out. I would take it in the vehicle before dinner but now I can actually eat out like a normal person. It is absolutely wonderful. I have no spikes or lows.

It is wonderful to have a medication that not only works but I only have to take once a week. I used to have to worry about taking my medication with me (Byetta) when dining out. I would take it in the vehicle before dinner but now I can actually eat out like a normal person. It is absolutely wonderful. I have no spikes or lows. I wake up with an average of 125 and go to bed with an average of 130. How wonderful is that? I do watch my food intake just like any diabetic but I don't worry about the highs and lows like I did with Byetta or other previous medications. I also take Metformin as an addition but 2 pills a day is much easier than 2 shots a day and 2 pills a day. I would have never guessed my life would be somewhat normal again after diabetes. Thank you Bydureon!
