From my reading of it (and I just skimmed through) I think they assumed ALL type 2s inject.

Having said that, anything that reduces the ammount of medication we have to take and can also take into account an infinite number of variables, like how active we are and what we eat is worth the effort.
 
Its all progress which is no bad thing, and the price will come down in time.

Just need someone now to develop a simple testing system to get away from the exorbitant strip fiasco.😉
 
The NICE criteria for using Byetta included a BMI of 35 or over so I cannot see it being dished out to all Type 2's.

This is the long awaited long acting version of Byetta. At ?76 for 28 days it is still far more expensive than tablets so they will still be rationing its use.

?73 according to the July release information so only slightly more than Byetta and cheaper than Victoza (the opposition). It's all more expensive than tablets. Will they try and price out Byetta?

Someone must be on it as Diabetes UK have a survey on it:http://www.diabetes.co.uk/promotions/medicys-trials.html
