Hi Hanadr. I was put on insulin 3 months ago (10 units Levemir once a day) and have put on only 1Kg from 58 to 59 Kg in 3 months, so weight gain is not a given with insulin. I have no insulin resistance and a sensible low-carb diet which all helps.
Byetta Information said:Important Safety Information for BYETTA® (exenatide) injection
Serious side effects can happen in people who take BYETTA, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be severe and lead to death. Before taking BYETTA, tell your healthcare provider if you have had pancreatitis, stones in your gallbladder (gallstones), a history of alcoholism, or high blood triglyceride levels. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe, and will not go away. The pain may happen with or without vomiting and may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back.

Barrie Smith said:The Criminal activety continues , since the late 70s NHS no longer observes Clinical Trials , they accept as gospel what Pharma
tells them which throws open the field to commercial interest .
It is only when patients are damaged or die that it comes into focus , I think it started with the introduction of Synthroid in UK
Levothyroxine in place of Natural Porcine Thyroid .(now there is a criminal activity ,no sience or traceable trials for most patients
it doesnt restore hormonal balance . Synthetic Insulin came next , Dead in Bed Syndrome , about 3 months of trials which would
normally be 2to3 yrs , have applied to view under freedom of information , was told more than 30 yrs on it is commercially sensitive , yet we know from a whistle blower between 20to 25 % of subjects suffered ADRs and still do . The list is enormous and growing , I have been unfortunate to have been damaged by 4 of Pharmas dodgey products but you try get help from NHS , they take the side of Pharma yet they licenced it for use .
On the news today Diclofenac, I was prescribed some cream looked it up on Google found 1st it was responsible for destroying 90%
of Asian Vultures , they fed on cattle who had treated with it . (total renal failure). Doctors will tell you it cant trans species , but read on it is known to do a lot of frightening things damaging DNA , yet was prescribed for Menstrual pain .
