diabetes, type 2
"Today (1/26/10)- I've been using Byetta for just over a month (started on 1/1/10). I've been on a good diet and have lost 2 to 3 pounds. My sugar numbers stay under 120 - usually in the 90-115 range. If I take another med such as glipizide (4mg or less), my blood level drops too far down (65 to 80).  I had to stop using any other meds with Byetta. Also, you need to check you blood sugar level a few times a day until you find a healthy balance.

 My goal is to loss 20 pounds. I've had no side effects from the Byetta except a bruised area where the needle goes."
