Hi

A friend of mine has just been telling me he has heard of a new drug designed to help diabetics lose weight. He cant remember the name of it but says it begins with 'x'. Bit vague I know but does anyone have any ideas to what it might be?

Cheers

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Your friend is probably talking about Exenatide better known as Byetta which is usually injected twice daily I believe.

Search the forum for Byetta there is a very large thread here which should answer most if not all of your questions.
