Yes!
At last after a year of fighting I have the go ahead to start Byetta.
The consultant put together a very good case and with the GP help I have the go ahead.
Unfortunately for the first few months it will be on a private prescription😱, but if I show some success, I will be considered for NHS (not holding my breath though).
I am hoping this is the end to how horrible I have been feeling for the last year with incredible weight gains due to floods and poor insulin resistance.
The good news is despite two floods in the last 3 weeks, I have lost 20.6 lbs!
So, I know I can do the diet and hope the Byetta helps keep it going too as well as making my diabetes behave better.
Is anyone on here on Byetta? I have a million questions.
I am a bit scared now I have the go ahead🙄 as I understand it can make you feel very ill to start with - and dont particularly look forward to injecting either!
But we have fought long and hard for it - and I am definitlely going to give it a good go.
Fingers crossed this works.🙂
It does feel weird that I am happy to be getting a drug that will make me feel ill initially and needs to be injected - anyone else felt like this?
