Does anyone use Byetta?
I’ve been on Byetta since August. It works very well with the post-meal numbers….so well in fact that I have to be disciplined not to eat more than usual because I can and still have good numbers. The injections are twice daily…and are a non-issue…much less painful than the finger sticks we do so many of each day. I had MAJOR nausea the first 7-10 days, but this disappeared after that. I’m still on the initial 5 mcg dose, because when I eat a good low-carb diet, i’m generally in the 70-80 range 2 hrs after eating. Its not insulin, so you don’t have to be on it for life.
