[QUOTE="cugila, post: 102586, member: 15325"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Lindyg. Welcome to the forum. Byetta. There are 77 pages and over 1100 posts in this topic which is mainly about Byetta. There are hints, tips, success stories, and tales of people who have tried it and failed. A never ending story ? Have a read. Here is a link to the Technical information about Byetta. [url=http://emc.medicines.org.uk/document.aspx?documentId=19257#CLINICAL_PARTS]http://emc.medicines.org.uk/document.as ... ICAL_PARTS[/url] Basic information is as follows. BYETTA is usually used for treatment of Type 2 diabetes in combination with metformin and/or sulphonylureas in patients who have not achieved adequate glycaemic control on maximum doses of these oral therapies. You are not on the maximum dose of either meds ? The drug is injected twice daily before the two main meals of the day, and within 60 minutes prior to eating. A lot inject then eat straight away, others as myself leave about 20 minutes after injecting then eat. You must leave at least 6 hrs between meals and you must NEVER take the injection after food. The way it works is described in the technical link. There are strict criteria set out for anyone to be prescribed Byetta. BMI of no less than 35, poor glycaemic control and various other reasons as set out in the NICE guidelines which your GP will consult. Sometimes these guidelines are routinely ignored by the medical profession ? It is an appetite suppressant as well, so can help with weight loss. However, a change in diet can also make it work more efficiently. It is very effective and I can vouch for it's efficacy having lost 4 stone and got Bg numbers well under control. Your numbers are very high and you really need to tackle them asap. You say your diet is being 'closely monitored ? ' Who is 'monitoring' this ? Can you give us an example of a typical days food intake together with any Bg readings as well ? We may then be able to make suggestions which hopefully will get those levels down. [/QUOTE]
