Response at 3 months to insulin dose decisions made at exenatide initiation in the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) nationwide exenatide audit

Abstract

It is uncertain what should be done with insulin dose if starting exenatide. In the ABCD nationwide exenatide audit, many patients with type 2 diabetes had worsened glycaemia when insulin was stopped. If starting exenatide, insulin should not be stopped but weaned off only if there is significant glycaemic response.
