[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 18484, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Ponty, You certainly have my sympathies, but I am quite intrigued by your situation. The only way that your body can get the insulin that it must have to metabolise the glucose in your blood is for the pancreas to produce it, or for it to be injected. If your pancreas doesn't produce insulin and you have stopped having injections, then how are your blood sugars being controlled? Your situation is one that I haven't come across before on the forum and I am curious! Hi Ian, It appears that, although there were some cases of pancreatitis discovered last year amongst patients on Byetta, the numbers affected were only a couple of percentage points higher than the incidence of pancreatitis amongst non-byetta users. So these were patients who may well have developed it in any case. So far there doesn't appear to be a proven link between pancreatitis and byetta, although the US medical authorities are keeping a close eye on the situation. [/QUOTE]
