I don't know much about this drug other than what I have read.
Basically it is for hard to control patients. The weight loss is there but not huge.
From what I see, patients using this drug can reduce the doses of the insulin used. It is also possible to get low blood sugar attacks from this drug, so patients have to be prepared for that.
I don't think patient acceptance is high with it. I seem to recall it causes alot of nausea.

None of the interventions we have for diabetes are "pleasant" IMO. The only thing one can really do is control food intake.
