User Reviews for Byetta subcutaneous

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.)

tiredness and weight gain

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.Read More Read Less

Ihave had good results

This medication has helped keep by sugar levels down. With out it my sugar levels are much higher.

I had nausea for about 2 weeks when I first started taking it. It went away...so did my appetite. I've been on it alittle over two years and now I have nausea about every time I take it and pain in the abdomen some.

I just stated taking it today and I am feeling willing feel like i want to throw up. I have a headake.

Upset stomach in the first 2 weeks which went away over time. No side effects at this time and have been using it for the last 3 months.

dr. is going to start me on this med. Can anyone tell me if the nausea is just on first of taking it or all week?

I started this med on 2/7/12 and had to stop taking the med less than two weeks later after being diagnosed with pancreatitis

I went from a a1c of 9+ to 6.5 & my sugars were running around 4-500 & went down to the 200's which my dr said was good for my and my size. 6'4 & 240#.

been on for 1 week and have lost 4LBS. no sickness, sugars are 1/2 what they were.injections hurt far less than lancets!miracle drug for my type 2.appetite is 1/4th what used to be. looking forward to next A1c.

It has helped me lose close to 30 pounds in the last 4 months and has kept my levels under control

I was on Byetta 5 and 10 for about 2 months. Injections in the stomach caused nausau so I injected into the thigh. This reduced nausau some but constipation followed. My blood suger levels did not improve so my doctor put me on insulin. I really wanted Byetta to work for me but maybe it's not for everybody.

Blood sugar dropped dramatically, and I lost about 40 lbs very quickly. I did have a lot of nausea with it, but that got a little better the longer I stayed on it. I went off it after developing pancreatitis. Really wish I could've kept taking it.

sometimes have low blood sugar after taking byetta
