For Type 2 Diabetes "I switched to Byetta just over a week ago from Novorapid insulin after some weight gain. From the start, I have had some nausea, but nothing I couldn't handle, and I can't eat as much as I always seem full, so I am starting to lose weight already, so that is a positive. The negatives are that my levels are too high, and this is causing my vision to be blurry, and it is making it difficult for me to drive. Also, in the morning, I feel really lethargic, which makes it difficult to concentrate at work. I have also noticed my skin feels dry, especially my lips. I am due to go back to my specialist after 4 weeks, but I am not sure if I will continue. I am currently on Byetta 5 mcg morning and night and Lantus 20 units plus Metformin 1000 twice a day."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I tried Metformin, and that did NOT work for me! I tried it 6 different times. Same awful side effects each time! So, my doctor put me on Byetta. I've been on it for a month plus. I've been SO exhausted since I've started Byetta! I feel grouchy as heck and just weird! After reading that it may cause thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer, I stopped!! It also gave me weird palpitations!! It has taken 3 days of being off of it, but I feel MUCH better!! My energy is returning, and I don't feel loopy and weird!! I will just stick with taking Chromium and Berberine (under my docs care). Those controlled my blood sugar just fine. They're expensive but zero side effects. I only had to pay $25 out of pocket for this. It's a $730 drug YIKES!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started only two days now. I see numbers coming down from 16 to 8 last night, then 11 after fasting, so it's up and down. I feel tired and have no appetite, forcing myself to eat small meals. Let's talk again after a month. Nausea not unbearable. I realize I was feeling nausea before using Byetta anyways, so no real difference there. Feel shaky at times. Holding thumbs it works."
