[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 36665, member: 1338"] Hi HLW, Byetta tends to be prescribed more by consultants than GPs so it is very likely that your GP will be told by his PCT not to prescribe - this is always on cost grounds. However, PCTs tend not to argue when faced with a prescription recommended by a consultant. Your best bet would be to ask your GP to refer you to a consultant diabetologist - then the consultant will be able to advise whether Byetta would be suitable for you, and will either prescribe himself of will advise the GP to prescribe.
