I received an overwhelming amount of testimonials about Byetta� in the real world, so here is part 2!

"I've been on Byetta� 5 for 14 months. I am very pleased with it because I feel it is responsible for me losing about 15 pounds - without too much effort. I feel full sooner, and have cut back on the quantity of the food I eat. It's as simple as that. I've had a few lows after experimenting with Byetta� 10, but I am on Byetta� 5 now, and I know how to adjust for that. I eat well and pace my meals and snacks. My numbers are good."

"I started Byetta� last November, at the age of 64 and weighed 330 lbs. and am now at 265 lbs. I use Byetta� only in the morning (10mg) and supplimented my blood sugar with 46 units of Lantus and everything seems to be in check and balance. I had problem with Byetta�, Metaforim and Gluocophage in the evening. I do take a Pepicid prior to injecting the Byetta�. I support the program and would recommend it to anyone who has the tolerance to be a little nausia (not bad) and want to get their weight down. I am down 8" on waist and from 3X to 2X. I doctor with Dr. Ron Scott, Kearney Clinic, Kearney, NE. 68847. 308/865-2141. He seems to be very knowledgable with diabetes. I would be glad to discuss the program with anyone. Thanks for the interest. "

I started Byetta yesterday. My doc was nice enough to hook me up with one sample pen, a 30 day supply. My belly is a wopping 56.75" in diameter. I'll remeasure in a month and see how its working.
