    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I am service connected type 2 diabetic due to service in Vietnam and thanks to Agent Orange. I was diagnosed in 1996. The only thing I hate worse than Byetta shots is the constant blood sugar testing. My fingers feel like a pin cushion.

      Treatments

      Byetta Working / Worked
      I haven't really noticed many side effects. It is hard to remember when you are out shopping and decide to eat.
      Glipizide Working / Worked
      10mg 2x/day
      Lipitor Working / Worked
      20 mg day
      Metformin Working / Worked
      1000 mg 2x/day no side effects
