Purpose
This pilot study will evaluate the effects of the anti-diabetic drug Bydureon (exenatide extended-release formulation) on blood sugar levels and serum markers of inflammation in a cohort of 12 HIV-infected adults on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) with untreated diabetes mellitus. Previous studies have shown that high levels of persistent systemic inflammation predict the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in HIV-infected persons on cART (a group at very high risk of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction). Bydureon has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects in prior studies of non-HIV infected persons, which suggests that this agent may represent a unique and preferred medication for the treatment of insulin resistance in HIV-infected adults. The Investigators hypothesize that short-term (16 weeks) therapy with Bydureon will improve glucose tolerance and significantly reduce circulating plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and highly-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), two biomarkers strongly implicated in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in diabetic, HIV-infected, cART-treated adults.

- Change in serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and highly-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome will be the change in serum IL-6 and hsCRP levels from baseline (pre-treatment) to 16 weeks of Bydureon treatment.
- Change from baseline to 16 weeks in serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) receptor 1 & 2, cystatin C, macrophage chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1α), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The change from baseline to 16 weeks in the response to an oral glucose tolerance challenge and in serum hemoglobin A1c levels [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The change from baseline to 16 weeks in serum LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, & triglycerides [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The change from baseline to 16 weeks in serum adipokine (leptin and adiponectin) levels [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The change from baseline to 16 weeks in body fat mass and distribution, anthropometrics, and body mass index [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- The change from baseline to 16 weeks in peripheral endothelial tonography, as measured by the non-invasive EndoPAT system [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
