Re: Anyone use Byetta?
Pauline - how long have you been on Byetta? I am hoping to join you all shortly having had a bad time since GP put me on Gliclazide alongside the Metformin. Within a couple of months of starting on the Gliclazide I had put on a stone (and I already have 4 extra!!) :x
In November last (12 months after being on Gliclazide) I was sent to the DSN because I was asking to go on Byetta. The DSN that I saw said I could not go on it because of my IBS and she started me on Lantus. I think that has made my weight worse and I am not getting the improvement that I need. All of this has got me very down so last week I spoke to another DSN and she said I could try the Byetta but am waiting to hear from her again.
In your experience how soon did the glucose numbers go down?
Any input greatly appreciated and noted for the future. Jude :roll:
