Exenatide is a unique agent which can effectively control blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus without producing dangerous adverse effects. In addition, it can lower body weight which is very essential for the treatment of obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Since it can delay the destruction of islet beta-cells, type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are not rapidly converted to type 1 diabetes mellitus and ultimately appearance of complications of the disease is halted or delayed.

This drug is considered as an adjunct to metformin/sulfonylureas/insulin.
