Hi Saz, welcome to the forum 🙂 This is similar to Byetta and Victoza, which I know quite a few of our members have tried, with varying success - some very good and some where it has not helped much. However, some people who found no success with Byetta have tried with Victoza and had good results, and vice versa, so it's likely to be a case of trying it and seeing if it helps.

Side effects can include nausea, which some people have found to be too bad, hence changing to another type. You're the first person I've come across to mention this particular variety though - are you on it, or has your nurse/doctor recommended it?
