Question for diabetics...Bydurion--How do you like it?
My doctor put me on Bydurion 4 weeks ago. It is supposed to help you make insulin AND lose weight. I have not noticed a significant improvement in my blood glucose (the fasting one is the problem) and have only lost about 4 lbs this month. (The expectation was about 4 lbs a week.)
Now, 4 pounds is 4 pounds, but considering that I lost 40 lbs in 2 months on Atkins (and kept if off), 4 pounds doesn't seem to be very much.

Is Bydurion the same thing as Metformin? If it is, I haven't noticed much of a difference in how it is changing my readings either. But it may take two months as it has to build up in your system. Maybe your medication has to do the same. As far as losing 40 in 2 months, your doctor might feel that was to fast of a weight lose for your body to handle in terms of controling your sugar.
