[QUOTE="cugila, post: 94119, member: 15325"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Andrew. There is a strict criterion for the prescribing of Byetta. These are the guidelines. Consider adding a GLP-1 mimetic (exenatide) as third-line therapy to first-line metformin and a second-line sulfonylurea when control of blood glucose remains or becomes inadequate (HbA1c ≥ 7.5%, or other higher level agreed with the individual), and the person has: • a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35.0 kg/m2 in those of European descent (with appropriate adjustment for other ethnic groups) and specific psychological or medical problems associated with high body weight, or • a BMI < 35.0 kg/m2, and therapy with insulin would have significant occupational implications or weight loss would benefit other significant obesity-related comorbidities. [new 2009] Only you know if you are suitable ? Sometimes the guidelines are routinely ignored ?? As for Bg levels for a T2 they should be within the following guidelines. Fasting(waking) ..............between 4 - 7 mmol/l. 2 hrs after meals.............no more than 8.5 mmol/l. If you can get below the figures for post meal readings then so much the better. I am 61 and this has turned my life around and have lost almost 4 stone since January this year. [/QUOTE]
