Bydureon...intense Lightheadedness!!

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
South Devon, uk

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
However i took my 5th injection Thursday afternoon, soon enough as expected i felt nauseous and jittery, but its just got worst and worst. Luckily i had my D review Friday morning, i felt just dreadful, dizzy, faint,… read more

Well, the side effects could have low blood sugar levels, as that is what @Bydureon does, as well as nausea and sometimes vomiting and lightheadedness. You would know that anyway if you were… read more

I'm Going From Victoza To Bydureon, Any Advice?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Antonio, TX

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.

I adapted to bydureon very well, maybe because I'd been using Victoza for 4 months. I found I had less side effects, no more nasty belchies, much less gas. I was about 2 weeks in before things… read more

Trulicity Availability

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Owosso, MI

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.

The Trulicity has a supply and demand issue, the demand is greater than the supply.

Bydureon, Anyone On It Or Ever Try It?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Farmington, NH

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?

Yes, it was ok for me but my insurance didn’t cover it so my doctor put me on something else.

Jardiance And Other New Diabetic Drugs

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Otsego, MI

It seems that people I know who take Jardiance and Victoza and Trulicity seem to be able to eat more carbs than people just taking metformin or drugs like glipizide. Do these drugs allow you to eat more carbs and still keep your blood glucose in check?

Trulicity made me sick. I couldn't over eat on carbs if I wanted to
