[QUOTE="Jude, post: 87118, member: 8649"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hello Carrie Welcome to this very active thread - if you have been reading through it you will have noticed my postings which are fairly recent (past 3 months). I am just up to 12 weeks on the Byetta 5 pen and unfortunately have suffered with persistent nausea - am now taking a ginger capsule with my breakfast to help that - and am hoping to go up to the 10 pen this week (although I am quite scared!!). :lol: Still it has to be done. The other thing I was going to suggest was to ask your GP or hospital team if you can have the slow release metformin as that should help with the bowel problems - quite a few of us on here are on the sr. As I also suffer with irritable bowel the sr has been very helpful although I must also add that my IBS has been significantly improved since starting the Byetta. I am also struggling with my weight (a whole life time) but I am still on a small dose of background insulin (lantus) and I think that might be detrimental to my weight. Actually, you say you are on gliclazide - that definitely put weight on me, almost overnight. Are you coming off that when you go on the Byetta? I came off the Gliclazide and went on to the Lantus and am now coming off the Lantus (nearly there) to take Byetta. This forum is very helpful and supportive. Speak again. Jude [/QUOTE]
