I have been under a trial of the Byetta pen with my local Diabetic clinic at the hospital because my blood sugar's were through the roof, I am into my second month and it has worked better than they expected.

My blood sugar levels have dropped and I have acctually started to loose weight for the first time in my life.

But now my own GP refuses to take on the prescribe of the drug because it is too expensive, and the hospital said they can not carry on with the trial because of the same reason.

Where does that leave me? it looks like I will now go from a type2 diabetic to a type1 needing to be on insulin for life, who is going to pick up the cost of this???
