I just received a copy of a thesis on the successful use of Exenatide in autoimmune diabetes. I got the article from Google: Scholar: It's a good source of material besides PubMed and others.

[PDF] The Effects of Exenatide on the Autoimmune Development of Diabetes A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation …

This really means nothing without a link to the article. It could be a 10 year old thesis or older and really not be relevant any more.

Sorry about the PDF -- it's not a hyperlink. I searched for related papers and found
this in The American Diabetes Association, 2005:

Effects of Exenatide (Exendin-4) on Glycemic Control and Weight Over 30 Weeks in Metformin-Treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Not the same one as this one was done on type 2 diadetics and not type 1

Is this your original one, Irene?

That's the one Shanny. Thank you for converting the PDF. I'm interested in it because i've read that viruses may cause autoimmune responses against the Beta cells-- so this peaked my interest. But it is above my head - just an association i guess.
