I have been on byetta for about 3 years. It does what it is suppose to do - help with my bs. My A1C has gone done to around 6.0. I take it along with metformin. I cannot take both at the same time so I take my metformin about 30 minutes after I eat breakfast and before bedtime.
There are side effects with byetta that I have learned to live with. It does make you nauseas and at times can be rather bad. I have also gotten Diarrhea. You CANNOT take it with other medications so I try to take my other medication after I eat. (I take medication for b/p.)
One of the side effects of byetta is it surpresses your appetite which has really worked for me. I have lost over 50 lbs with it which has helped my b/s.
