Study summary
Exenatide has been shown to result in better glycemic control in type II diabetes patients. Obesity and diabetes are states of increased inflammation; exenatide is expected to lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of Exenatide to diabetic patients will reduce the requirements of insulin particularly the short acting insulin. Exenatide may also lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss, or an independent effect.

Outcomes
Fasting Insulin
Time frame · after 24 hours fast at baseline and 12 weeks
To compare the fasting insulin level at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.
Weight
Time frame · value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
To compare the body weight at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients
HbA1c
Time frame · value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
To compare the HbA1c at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.
Intranuclear NFκB Binding Activity
Time frame · measured after 6 hours of a single dose of placebo or exenatide treatment for value measured at 12 weeks minus baseline
Measured by a gel shift assay showing the NFKB and Oct-1 binding to the doublestranded oligonucleotide containing the NFKB DNA binding site in Exenatide group and placebo group
