[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 20401, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Sarah, Thanks - I hadn't spotted that article but personally I'm not concerned by it. This was news that originally came out earlier this year and when it was properly investigated it was found that the incidence of people on Byetta who suffered from pancreatitis was no higher than that of diabetics who are not on Byetta! Six cases of pancreatitis out of a diabetic population of around half a million now on Byetta is 0.0012%, which is the normal percentage for pancreatitis amongst diabetics. It's a bit like saying that six diabetics died after falling off ladders, so being diabetic must make you prone to falling off ladders! [/QUOTE]
