Byetta did not work at all. It was as if I stopped taking Januvia all together and added nothing else. My BS rose 50-100 points and maxed out over 340 at times. He quickly got me off of Byetta, and now I'm on Anvandia/Glucovance combo for about a week now, and I'm down from upper 200's lower 300's to averaging 180. Still not where I need to be, but better than Byetta.
But now I ask, if Januvia and Byetta pretty much do the same thing, why does one work, and not the other?
Strange. | Good question, I think a lot of these new drugs are being pushed through before they have been tested on large enough groups to determine how effective they really are. the new incretin mimetics work for some people and not for others. My guess is that slowing down the stomach causes blood sugar to react differently from person to person. I have been on Januvia for about six months now I think its just starting to work for me.
