Hi I am new on here, I was just wondering if anybody knows if Liraglutide and Byetta can be taken as stand alone treatments or would you still need to take oral meds for type 2 diabetes also ?

Hi! and welcome! 
I used to take Byetta and was told at the time,to qualify for the drug,I would have to use it in combination with metformin or gliclazide or both.That was my local health authorities policy but as I've learned on here,they all seem to have different policies so your consultant may well suggest it as a stand alone treatment.Are you already on Byetta or has it just been suggested to you to try.
Also,if you search on this site for Byetta,there are several large threads on the drug with others personal experiences of it.
Best wishes

Thanks Paul for your reply, am on Eucreas which Metformin & Vildagliptin combined, and yes my Consultant has suggested I have either Byetta or Liragllutide.
