Hi, I have been on Byetta for 6weeks now. I started on the 5mgs and found my appetite is decreased by heaps. I don't feel hungry all the time like I used to.Evan when i serve up my evening meal it looks to large (it's 2/3 the size it used to be)
I lost 3.2 kilos in 2 weeks and my Hb1c went from 9 in November to 8.4 after 3 weeks on Byetta. (before I started my sugars wern't good) also my cholestrol and triglycerols came down also. I watch what I eat but if I want a treat I have it. but not as much. I'm finding I don't need to use as much insulin and I feel great.
As for side effects I have been really lucky couldn't work out if it was Byetta or my different shifts at work LOL
Byetta is only new over here and not cheap but it is worth every cent in my opinion. My Doctors hadn't heard of it so I have educated them !!
Take care from Alicat61
