[QUOTE="cugila, post: 191477, member: 15325"] descartesmum The criteria for remaining on Byetta is as follows : Continue Exanatide ONLY if the person has a reduction in HbA1c of equal to or more than 1.0 percentage point AND equal to or more than lost 3 percent of body weight in 6 months. If you cannot meet that you may be able to argue your case but it is usually associated with weight loss for most users as it is a significant appetite suppressant. It should be pointed out that dietary changes are also required to initiate that significant weight loss. In the circumstance I think I would postpone any appointments (I am sure you can think of excuses :wink: ) for a few months. Give yourself time to try and lose that elusive weight doing what I suggested above. Presumably your meds are on repeat so just keep getting the Byetta each month for as long as possible.......then when you have fulfilled the criteria get an appointment. :) [/QUOTE]
