[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 33023, member: 1338"] Hi TJB, always nice to welcome another Byetta success story to the forum. I'm not sure where those statistics came from because there are thousands of patients in the UK on Byetta - still small by comparison with the number who would benefit from it and who should be on it, but its a start. I was one of the first 60 in the country to be put on it in July 2007, a month after it was approved by NICE (I was told by my consultant that I was number 55 in the UK). Have a look in the forum on the Diabetes Discussions thread where you will find a topic "Anyone use Byetta" that has been running since last August. As Hana said, the biggest factor that governs whether you can get it prescribed is cost rather than need, to the eternal shame of every PCT that gets away with denying patients their right to appropriate medication on entirely non-medical grounds.
