Hi guys,

So my blood glucose levels have gotten to the point where even my doctor has given up on me. I have put on roughly 30kg in the course of 5 years... weighing about 114kg now. Hb1ac has come back at about 11%. I am currently on Glucophage XR 500mg twice a day. Apidra 24 units 3 times a day and humalog mix 25, 20 units in the morning and 30 units at night. I feel so sick these days with absolutely no energy that I have stopped going to the gym or even to follow a healthy diet. My DR wants to put me on byetta, has this drug worked on anyone? For weight loss and controlling blood glucose levels? Are the benefits of byetta worth taking it even thou it has terrible side effects? What other meds are you taking with it? Please help☺
