Byetta? treatment for type 2 diabetics along with metformin etc?
Just wondering if anyone has tried it and how they got on
Got a person in my family going to start it soon so just curious really
I used Byetta and Meformin for a year to control my diabetes. It kept my blood sugar down to about 130 most of the time. Indigestion and Constipation are a constant problem with Byetta. Over eating will cause severe and debilitating nausea. Metformin nearly destroyed my liver and kidneys. I am one of the 1 out of 4 who cannot take Metformin. My liver and kidney functions are now returning to normal so make sure it is a doctor who checks these functions regularly – about every three months. Also my daughter now takes Byetta and insulin. She is doing wonderfully on both of these. She was formerly on Metformin and it made her sleep about 18 hours a day – she is one of the 1 in four who cannot tolerate it. My sister-in-law cannot do the Byetta – the nausea was so severe she lost 30 lbs in 28 days and landed in the hospital. BUT – it does work for some – just be careful to watch for side effects. And make sure to tell them not to overeat at a meal – indigestion and nausea results. Good luck.
