[QUOTE="djdribble, post: 287327, member: 25572"] Hi everyone I'm new here so I'll post a little about me first. I'm 26 and was diagnosed as type 2 8 years ago, I was initially on tablets which didn't work so was put on insulin taking over 200 units of fast acting and 100 units of long acting daily and was changed to type 1 and being treated as such for the past 6 years. After a visit to an insulin pump clinic it was decided that I had a C-Peptide test, after waiting 3 months the result came back saying I was indeed type 2 and the error was made by a GP I had seen 6 years ago. They have immediately stopped my insulin injections and have today started me on byetta with metformin starting next week. My fasting bm ranges from 16-18 and have never had an hypo. I have read lots about byetta and the thought of nausea doesn't bother me as I have indigestion and acid reflux regularly my only concern is the risk of pancreatitis, byetta's website is the only medication site that has such a clear warning on its homepage which further highlights my concern and I was wondering if the risk is worth it. Thank you for reading [/QUOTE]
