I was prescribed Byetta on a test basis to see if it would decrease me need for insulin. It did--permanently. It also gave me SEVERE indigestion--to the point that I had to discontinue the Byetta after only 1 month. (I work behind a service counter, & have to look & be healthy at all times when on duty.)

My father took this and a year later he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Went from feeling fine to some jaundice symptoms one day, went to dr, and all our lives changed. He passed away a few weeks ago. Be careful

I've had Type 2 for 13 yrs now and oral medicines weren't doing the job for the last two yrs. Byetta was suggested by a VEBA study pharmacist I work with and my doctor agreed. I started on 5 mcg on July 27,2012.Immediately my bs went down from morning highs of 160-180 to 120-100. Adverse side effects included jitteriness and constipation of which constipation still exist. I power Metamucil and try and eat all the non-starchy vegetables I can. Weight is down 5#. As mentioned the Nano needles coupled with the Byetta pen are virtually painless. I predict my A1C will drop to 6.0 from 7.0% net test. Looks like 5 mcg is going to do it. I also take 2500 mg of Metformin and 10 mg Glipizide XL. I forgot to mention that fatigue and sleepiness prevail from the Byetta. I'm blessed with an extremely generous drug plan.
