hi all, i just got back from seeing the dsiabetic specialist and after an extremely long chat, i am to be put on byetta on christmas eve. is anyone out there on it? apparently its a new drug that you inject but its not insulin. 2x daily injections before your main meal and it lowers hba1c and weight! sounds really good to me! i will let you all know how i get on with it, but if anyone has experience of it, please let me know!

Good luck with new treatment, I hope it works for you.
HI Elaine, I too have started on Byetta. I waited until after xmas. I started on 1st jan. So far so good. I have noticed that I cant finish my main meal off now because I feel full (which never happened before). I havent seen lower sugar results yet but its early days. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are on it.
