When I asked about it I was told that it hadn't been given much to folks on insulin, and that there was more history of insulin-using folks and Byetta. So I asked if Byetta is now now approved for insulin users, or is it still 'off label'?. No, it is still off label. Once again I was told that as there wasn't a lot of history of Byetta plus insulin they didn't want me to be a guinea pig. My reply----I went on Byetta shortly after it reached the market, so was I being used as a guinea pig then? I never heard back. Maybe I am too contentious.
I will be interested in what your endo says.
 
Hello nancy609, I am on victoza with insulin, it is 'off licence' with special needs n cases. As I cant tolerate any other tablet form meds yet can tolerate the GLP1 peptide enzyme that victoza works as it was agreed that I can combine the two given my drug intolerances. I have agreed KNOWING its 'off licence' . Victoza has never given me ANY side effects at all. My BS levels have failed to come down enough on victoza alone, hence the combo with insulin. Any help? Anna.x :)
