For Type 2 Diabetes "I dropped a jean size. My close relatives say they have noticed some weight loss results. The nausea is awful when I eat unhealthy food. So I stick to my fruits, vegetables, and lean meat. I cut out bread, white rice, and other bad carbohydrates out of my diet. I only have half a cup serving of brown rice. For breakfast, I choose to eat fruits as I am a full-time university student, and I don't need to feel nauseated. For lunch, I have a small meal, then in the evening, I either eat fruits/veggies or nothing. I drink so much water... I am always thirsty lately. Again, the water seems to drain out the nausea and occasionally diarrhea from bad food choices. I will keep you updated on my journey! In all honesty, I feel so good now."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I've been on Byetta 10 mg for almost 1 month. I have lost 16 pounds already without really trying. The worst thing is feeling sick after you eat (I feel the worst about 1 1/2 hours after taking the shot). Some days are better. No constipation like some people reported, more loose stools than anything. I plan to stay on this medicine for a long time!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "I eat right after I take Byetta, and if I stay away from the fatty, greasy food, I do not have any problems with loose stools. I love the fact my HUGE hunger is now GONE! I lost about 8 lbs, but gained only one pound back after Thanksgiving."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been on Byetta for 10 days and have had excessive diarrhea. I take the medicine. I'll wait an hour, I'll eat, and then I have unending diarrhea until the next meal. I have lost weight, I can tell. I don't know if this is worth it."
