[QUOTE="xxxleonadxxx, post: 59397, member: 8639"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Carolyn, I have to be the black sheep on these boards lol, Byetta hasn't worked for me. I have been on it for about 18 months and struggled at the start with severe vomitting and everything else it brought with it. I take 10mg Byetta, 2000mcg glucophage (SR), 160mcg Gliclazide, 20mg Ramipril plus thyroid medication and I cannot control my bloods, i'm still 14-18 average a day. I am now just about to start on pioglitazone (crapping myself on this :() and will be undergoing insulin desensitisation soon, as i'm allergic to the stuff. (Sorry for the life history :)) But I had high hopes for Byetta, i've had no weight loss with it, but I have had weight gain. I haven't lost my appetite, its got worse. Before I was put on Byetta I was a healthy size 14. 18 months into the Byetta treatment and i'm an 18. Its a very depressing thing. I get jealous when I read on the boards about how you all lose weight and it works for you but I am also very glad that it does. Ok rant over :), I have to go put my soapbox away now. xxxxxxxxxxx Leona xxxxxxxxxxx [/QUOTE]
