User Reviews for Byetta subcutaneous

Have not lost pounds, however I have lost inches. Went down one bra size since the 1.5 months I have been on it. Pants need to pulled up more often! Did not have any stomach troubles, which is good, since I have IBS also. I first had a fear of injections, but with the fineness of the BD needles, I barely feel anything. Highly recommend type 2 patients try this if the A1C test is over 7.

been on byetta for 4 months and have lost 26lbs. nausea was a problem for awhile but like losing weight and feel alot better and my a1c was 5.8 at last count. they need to check this drug out for obesity cause it works on your appetite great. can't eat very much at meals but still works on my diabetes great drug in my opinion

At my last blood check my sugars had been down with no high peaks, I have lost over 50 lbs. I have had a few low blood sugar moments but was told this could happen so was prepared for them. Overall this has been a very effective treatment for me.

it has been a great drug, have been injecting in the stomach, need to change to location, was not aware to use the in the upper arm or thigh must better muscle there and not so much redness.over all great drug for lowering my blood sugar along with my other meds...and weight lose has been about 40 lbs along with walking about 6 miles a week..

Losing weight fairly quickly (11 pounds). Upset stomach lasts only a couple of weeks. Blood sugar coming under more control. Would like for it to control better. Only been on it for 1.5 months.

I was very sick for the first 3 weeks with nausea that has cleared. I have lost 30lbs. in 4mos. My Alc has dropped to 5.9 in 3 mos.

dramatic reduction in a1c - from 8.0 to 5.9 from month 6 to month 9 of treatment, after oral meds were losing their effectiveness. Byetta replaced Actos in my regimen (also take glipizide and metformin, plus quinapril for kidneys). At month 9, following the 5.9 a1c, have cut in half the glipizide treatment. Appetite controlled, have lost nearly 20 lb from my starting 230, feel wonderful about that. Patients, don't fear the injection, it's no big deal (no vein involved, just shoot it into the fat LOL). Occasional low-sugar feeling of weakness easily managed (and I'm glad my sugar is occasionally low these days - nice change). HIGHLY recommend Byetta and the endocrinologist who prscribed it for me.Read More Read Less

I have used Byetta for almost 8 months and I love it. My doctor & I have spent so many years trying to get by b/s under control and this is the only med that has worked. The only complaint I have is that every pen is different; my body reacts differently. I have learned that the first 2 days of the new pen can be miserable but I learn what and when I can eat. My heart medication has been cut in half and I feel awesome. Thanks to my doctor encouraging me into using Byetta.

Although I've only been on Byetta for a month, I've noticed a great improvement in my glucose levels. I haven't experienced any nausea and have less of an appetite. It has taken time to adjust to the injections though.

I have been on Byetta for 14 mo. and i have lost 103 lbs. with hard work and watching what i eat every meal. I wk out at the gym 5 or 6 times a wk. and for 45 mins. to an hour.my son has helped me a lot.

I've been using this drug for 3 months now and I like it. At first it made me nauseous, but then I learned the trick was to take it 45 minutes before I ate and the nausea went away. I've lost 10 pounds already. It's a wonderful appetite supressant. Since I know I'm not going to be very hungry at lunch, I'm able to make better food choices for lunch.

I only had one thing that I wasn't pleased with and that was the nausea,it was very intense for about 2 weeks.then it subsides. It was a great weight loss. I find the advantages of the drug well worth the side effects. I feel that I have more control over my blood sugar than I have in ten years!! I wish I was aware of it sooner. Just not knowing what my high readings have done to some of my vital organs is scarey. I feel now that I'm on the right track and I finally have a peace of mind about my health.Read More Read Less
