Hi all, I have a quick question. Does anyone know why type 1's can't or aren't allowed to take byetta? :?:

Thanks & Smiles, O'blooming thistle

Hello obloomingthistle,

Byetta delays the arrival of glucose from digestion and suppresses the release of glucagon.
Both of these actions would leave a type 1 at serious risk of hypo.
Byetta also stimulates insulin production, an action that would be wasted on a type 1.

Regards,
timo.
