I have been taking Byetta for about 2 years - no great weight loss. I was on metformin -2000 mg day - had diarrhea for the whole time. Finally talked to doctor about it, and he took me off Metformin and put me on actos about 1 month ago - no diarrhea since. I wold think that it was likely the metformin.
