I just wanted to let everyone know how I have been going on Byetta. It has been 29 days since i started I've lost some weight 2.3 kilos last week (didn't have scales that worked before then)
After a few days on it I would serve up my main meal at night and only eat 3/4 of it. I'm not looking for food. My blood sugars have come down and are rarely over 10mmols
My Hb1c was 9 in November and last week it was 8.4 (It would have improved in the last month as before then I was reading over 10)
My feet are no longer swollen and I'M FEELING GOOD
I've been lucky no real side effects.(my husband is still waiting for me to start eating insects and grow scales)
On Sunday i start on 10 mgs of Byetta.
I rang my Diabetes educator today and made his week He only knows one other person on Byetta (it is a new drug over here and is not subsidised by the Goverment yet)
So had no feedback
This forum is also very inspiring and I wish I had found it years ago.
Take care from alicat61
