Hi everyone

Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have just been prescribed once-weekly bydureon...Is anyone else on it and whats it like??
 
Hi Paul,
Welcome to the forum sorry I have no experience with the medication you asked about nor have I heard of it sorry I cant be more help,but wanted to say hi.
 
Hi Steff

No problems steff.....I believe that i am the first person in Sunderland to be prescribed it as I believe it is fairly new. I would just like to say hi too
 
Hi Paul.welcome 🙂

I've just googled it and it seems to have only just gained UK/EU approval.

I'm sure there are many members who'd be interested to hear your experiences of it, once you've been on it a while.

Thanks Robster

Thanks Robster & hi to you too

I certainly will....Im off on holiday then my specialist nurse is away so I won't be getting my prescription until 21.10.11...Meanwhile i'm taking my bolamyn prolonged release (500mg) 4 tablets (once daily)....Its the thought of having to self inject that I aint too keen on....gulp 🙂

Smoggies reply!

Well as I'm a missionary in Scotland I'm sure you'll explain to the rest of the UK what a Smoggie is!😉
 
About time we had a meet ! Geordies & Makems, good to hear you will b on new insulin & try not to get stressed about injections. After a couple weeks u will wonder why u worried ! (had approx 47,000 of the ------- things) I have a bit of an idea of what its like. Good luck & have nice holi. 😎
