[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 3641, member: 1338"] Hi Silvercat, Unfortunately there is no oral alternative to Byetta. The nearest equivalent is Januvia (sitagliptin) but it works in a slightly different way. The most common side effect of byetta is feeling nauseaous, but this generally wears off after the first few days. Although tiredness is stated as a possible side effect, I am in touch with dozens of users in the States, where it has been available much longer, and nobody has ever mentioned this. Before Byetta I had a phobia about needles and would pass out at the sight of an injection. I couldn't believe how quickly I overcame that and injecting doesn't bother me at all now. At some point further down the diabetes road you may have to move onto insulin. How will you manage then? I think you are over-worrying about this and looking for obstacles. There isn't a diabetes treatment available that doesn't have some side effects. [/QUOTE]
