    I know nothing about bydureon but any medication that causes a rash should be discontinued immediately and make a call to your doctor.

    From http://www.bydureon.com/
    Do not take BYDUREON if you have had an allergic reaction to exenatide or any of the other ingredients in BYDUREON. Severe allergic reactions can happen with BYDUREON. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to BYDUREON are severe rash or itching, swelling of your face, lips, and throat that may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, feeling faint or dizzy and very rapid heartbeat. If you have any symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, stop taking BYDUREON and call your healthcare provider right away.

    ditto. a rash is a no no. and rather scary! please call your doctor. You can friend me if you like. I am a lot older but I looked at your profile pic and almost laughed since we are sOOO SIMILAR in body shape. I have had success at losing for the first time in my life and I will cheer you on to lose too! I SOOO wish I had done this in my 30's rather than an 58. I lost a lot of years fat and you are so lucky to be young. You can beat the fat and you can crush the diabetes. I am also type 2 beginning with gestational diabetes like you. We have a lot in common cept you live in Ireland and I live in Texas....but I am a redhead! lol

    You are have allergic reaction to the new medication. You need to call your Dr right now. Allergic action to meds is not something to mess around with.
