My experience with Byetta was similar to David Mendosa's. I lost 68 pounds over the last 9 months. Millions of people probably should try Byetta, but have never heard of it. See below.from http://richandthin.bravehost.com....Over the weekend of April 8-9, 2007 the “crawl” at the bottom on C...

You make it sound like a cure! Do not give people false hope. Yes, it helps lose weight and bring down the BG levels, but it is not a cure. After 6 weeks on Byetta I had a terrible allergic reactin and stopped taking it. My Dr. swore the reaction was not from the Byetta and insisted that I try it again. That night after taking it I had such a bad reation that I almost had to call an ambulance to take me to the emergency room (I AM NOT INSURED)!.

Anyway, just don't be telling people something will cure you, when it is not a cure....Byetta does not work for everybody!

You are correct Byetta is not a cure for everybody. It only "cures" incretin deficiency. If a person's obesity and diabetes was due to incretin deficiency, then Byetta cures them. At least 25% of diabetics are not helped by Byetta, which implies that their diabetes and obesity was caused by something other than incretin deficiency. Until there is a widely available way to test for incretin deficiency, all overweight diabetic should try Byetta to see if it works for them.

I am using Byetta for 4 months, haven't lost any weight, and my blood sugar is just about the same as before I started it. I am thinking about going off of it as it doesn't seem to be worth the cost ($300.00 a month) for the results I get.
