User Reviews for Bydureon subcutaneous

BS is lower, appetite less, lost a few lbs, taken med for 2 mos. Happy with results and will continue taking.

I took the injection 5 weeks and my numbers stayed the same, after that I got very sick, vomiting and nausea were so bad I thought I had food positing, after 2 weeks, I was still very sick and had to go to the emergency room. I was advised not to take this medication and was told this can stay in my system 5 weeks. it's been 3 weeks and I still feel horrible, I never had bad side effects to any medication in the past. I felt like I was going to die after each attach. I wouldn't take something like this again, especially since it wasn't even effective the first 5 weeks. save your self the extreme pain and don't use it.Read More Read Less

The treatment works great, I haven't had BS above 120 but the injections are extremely painful. I may be injecting in the wrong areas, does anyone else have this issue?

The system for assembling the syringe, dry medication vial and the liquid is unnecessarily complicated and poorly designed. The manufacturer need to go back to square 1 and design a delivery system that is easier and more foolproof. Parts keep sliding out of place and it is frustrating to determine if you have completed thing properly and got the dosage needed.

Each injection created a hard bump under the skin. This drug caused extreme nausea (was on it for 3 months and that did not change). Hot flashes got worse too.

I love the way I feel...but I have lost so much hair I can't ignore it any longer. I am so sad to stop. I had a tiny bit of nausea the first few days...some indigestion and burping the first couple of weeks...then I felt good.

It causes lumps under the skin and is painful. The needles are too big and do not puncture skin really easy. I think I used 3 weeks now, and have 3 lump under the skin that are painful and have a burning sensation. I am stopping this medication. I am going to be really upset if this medication causes me any more problems..like having to have the lumps removed or worse.

frequently have difficulty pressing in the release button. Also, have numerous non-painful nodules at injection sites. The needle is just to thick and causes pain or discomfort, thank goodness its just once a week.

The medication is very effective at helping me control my blood sugar, but it is very easy for the needle to clog resulting in non delivery of the med, and at several hundred dollars per dose to replace it is prohibitive.

This medication has been a godsend for me. It has brought my blood sugars under control for the first time in 8 years. My A1C has dropped from 9 to 6.5 and then to 5.8 in 6 months!

been taking this drug for a month. have not had a reading under 250 since I started. didn't eat for day woke up with a reading of 275.

I've been taking Bydureon for 6 weeks and have been lethargic for 4 weeks. I have no energy to do my regular activities. My stomach is constantly uncomfortable or sick and I have bouts of diarrhea. I'm calling the doctor Monday to stop taking this med.

In week 6. No lumps or itching. Big loss in appetite. Have dropped about 6 lbs. BS dropped form 170 to 110 in the morning. I do experience hot flashes / sugar rush if I have sweets, or just a regular sized meal.

I have taken the injections for 3 months now and still have knots at the injection site. Has anyone else had this problem? I know it's a side effect but how long can I expect the knots? Is it normal for the knots to remain there for months?

Yes it has reduced my sugar numbers but as others have reported. Hate the constant nausea and the welts that come with this. Cant eat anything substantial Because it causes runs, etc and also abdomen swelling. Will be starting Trulicity to see if that works better.

worse thing i ever used,I am on humalog and levemir. took this and first injection in belly itched like crazy, swollen up and still have a knot at injction site. i thought maybe it was cause of my stretch marks. So following week injected into thigh.thigh swollen a area the size of my hand.red itchy hard knot, got so bad i had to got to ER wich they could do nothing cause sterod shot would make my sugar sky rocket. I used benedry, itch cream, calamin lotion, cold and hot packs. nothing worked!!! just have to suffer with the pain swelling and itching till its out of my system.BEEN 2 weeks and still itching at main site of injection still have a knot and its bruised. I would rather take 100 insulin injections a day then to ever deal with this again! I called the company and reported this and they said this was the first report ofthis kind. Doctor toldme if I had kept taking this drug i could have gone into antifalatic shock and might have died. Read More Read Less

Have been taking for 1 month now. One of the most effective medications helping me manage my type 2 diabetis

Blood sugars went down, but made me sicker than a dog. Worked great for suppressing appetite. Severe nausea, lumps at injection site, stomach problems all of them so bad I had to get off the medication. 3 months later still have lumps from areas where I injected the medication. Not sure they will ever go away. Preparing the medication is a serious pain, the needle is very wide and long, and the medication costs a lot! I did like how you only need to take it once a week.

Worst diarrhea I have ever had. Onset occurred about 12 hours after injection and continued for two days. Also nausea and a foggy feeling mentally.
