diabetes, type 2
"Recently started on Byetta, 57yr old male. Weaned off insulin so I could take the exenatide, must say I am impressed. Appetite has reduced, which is no bad thing. In my case, lost 6lb in a fortnight, readings have stabilized at 6.0 - 6.7 (UK). Restrictions on the driving have been lifted now I am off Insulin, so can return to work June 3rd, Been off due to heart attack Christmas, but fine now, two stents fitted. All in all, happy I am on Byetta, only side effect, slight nausea an hour after taking, but it passes after 10 mins."
