Bydureon

Bydureon is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes by helping control blood sugar levels. It contains a substance called exenatide, which mimics a natural hormone that encourages the body to release insulin when blood sugar is high. Bydureon is given as an injection once a week, making it convenient for ongoing management. It also helps reduce appetite and slow stomach emptying, which can aid in weight management. Overall, it’s part of a broader treatment plan including diet and exercise to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
