[QUOTE="jansouth, post: 64097, member: 12891"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Dear All Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have just had my first test results since starting byetta in November. Hbaic then was 7.8, now it is 6. I have lost a total of 28 lbs since starting byetta, and 10 of those since Christmas. My cholesterol is 4.2, blood pressure 120/75. I do have a way to go. I was 23 stone two years ago, and had got down to 19stone by my own efforts before starting byetta. I am now 16 stones, and will lose the other 4 stone this year. I have set a target of 1lb per week, which is definitely do-able, and if more comes off its a bonus, and more does often come off. Everyone tells me I look 10 years younger. I have gone from a dress size 32 to size 20. I can now buy clothes in most high street stores.I am proud of myself, and just want to say that anyone can do it, with the help and encouragement of friends and loved ones. True friends, that is, not the ones who say, ''OOO you will make yourself ill'' disregarding that I was killing myself before!! I think that without byetta, my weight loss would have stagnated, and certainly, although I was eating sensibly and had been for two years, my Hbaic wasn't being controlled, which it now is. So, if you are just starting byetta, don't be nervous. It is well worth the initial nausea, and having to inject yourself. Stay well, and keep smiling Janet x [/QUOTE]
