Bydureon...intense Lightheadedness!!
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone, i was put on to the Bydureon weekly injection last month, as my Metformin wasn't bringing my sugars down enough. The first 4 weeks i only experienced nausea and feeling jittery for the first day but it then wore off, my sugars came down lovely. So i thought.. Result

I'm Going From Victoza To Bydureon, Any Advice?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My insurance has decided to make Victoza non-formulary so I'm having to switch to Bydureon. Is anyone using this? I've only been on Victoza for 5 mos and was doing pretty good with it, tho my morning nos have increased slightly. I've been able to decrease Lantus to just 6 units at bedtime and eliminate Novalog altogether. Did not lose any weight but still liked this med. I wish ns companies would not mess with what meds peoe can take.

Bydureon, Anyone On It Or Ever Try It?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor wants me to start taking Bydureon injections. I haven’t read or heard too many good things from other people who have tried it and the side effects really worry me. Anyone on here currently or previously taken this medication? If so, what was your experience and did it help your diabetes?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Trulicity Availability
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is anyone else having a problem with their Trulicity prescription? I have been unable to get Trulicity 4.5. I was able to get a 1.5 thru another pharmacy. It is very frustrating. I have been told that it is a national issue and may take several months to overcome.
