Diabetes, Type 2
"I started Byetta 5mg in January and then upped to 10mg in February.  I&#039;m on my second month at 10mg.  Unfortunately, this drug has not worked for me.  I will not continue after this month&#039;s pen is done.  It did NOTHING for my blood sugar numbers.  I&#039;m also on Metformin and Glipizide.  It did help control my appetite but only enough to lose about 8 lbs total.  I also didn&#039;t really experience bad side effects.  Some occasional nausea, mostly if I didn&#039;t eat within 40-60 min of injection.  I sometimes wondered if I had too much belly fat for the medicine to work properly but I&#039;m not comfortable injecting my thigh or arm.  I truly wanted this to work as wonderfully for me as it did others.  Sadly, it has not."
