[QUOTE="Keefyboy, post: 88391, member: 21215"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi All, I have been waiting since April to be started on Byetta. I have followed your thread over that period and thought, with only a week to go before my appointment to start the treatment, that I would join in the chat. I am type II (dianosed by me in 1997 despite assurances from my GP that I was wrong) treated with the normal Metformin (3 x 850), as well as Levemir and Novorapid (I don't mind the Rapid injections in the stomach but the Levemir in the thighs makes me incredibly sore). Since using various types of medication over the past few years, I have seen my weight increase by 5 1/2 stone which is the reason for moving me over to the spit. Since I last saw the diabetic consultant in April, I have reduced my carb intake enormously. The odd thing is that i have lost no weight to speak of and my BS levels have actually increased slightly. I am getting to the stage where I am a little fed fed up with the whole business. I am usually very good with what I eat and my only real pleasure is a drink or three at the weekend. Despite this, I have had huge amounts of laser therapy for Proliferative Retinopathy and all kinds of other problems as a result of the neuropathy. I am pinning my hopes on the spit to ensure better control and fewer related problems going forward. Anyway, I didn't come on here to moan but merely to introduce myself in advance of the start of my treatment next week. Keefyboy :D [/QUOTE]
