Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria • Type 2 diabetes, on a stable medication regimen • Excess daytime sleepiness (Epworth score >9) • HbA1c 7.5-12.0%. • Age 18-65 years • BMI 28-40 • Subjects would have undergone a sleep study in the sleep laboratory at the Sherwood Forest Hospitals Foundation Trust and sleep apnoea has been excluded. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate whether the administration of Exenatide (10mcg BD by subcutaneous injection) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes without sleep apnoea (excluded by in-patient multi channel sleep study) but with symptoms of excess daytime sleepiness and suboptimal glycaemic control (hAb1c >7.5%), would result in a significant improvement in objective measure of daytime sleepiness and wakefulness (as determined by the sustained attention test (OsLer test). This will be a proof concept study where patients undergo a fixed-order design allocation of placebo for 10 weeks followed by exenatide for 10 weeks.;Secondary Objective: To investigate whether ten weeks administration of Exenatide (10mcg BD by subcutaneous injection) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes without sleep apnoea would result in a significant improvement in driving performance (assessed using a driving simulator), levels of ‘somnogenic cytokines’ (e.g. interleukin-6, TNF-alpha), Hba1c, weight and waist circumference;Primary end point(s): Wakefulness and vigilance : Assessed by sleep latency and error analysis from the OSLER test | — |
