Diabetes, Type 2
"I commenced Byetta 5ug/mL 10 days ago. I experienced no side effects and as this dose was not quite bringing my blood sugar levels into the therapeutic range, my consultant increased the dose from 5 to 10ug/mL after one week.  I have now been on the higher dose for 3 days and continue to feel extremely well with no side effects.  On diagnosis of my type 2 diabetes three weeks ago I decided to stop snacking between meals and after dinner and to be more committed to my chosen exercise regime.  I have lost 6Kg (6.2Kg is 14 pounds) in three weeks.  For me Byetta has contributed to a feeling of satiety which enables me to use this positive side effect to my advantage and only eat when feeling hungry and never between meals or after dinner."
