has been a god send to me after nearly dying on metformin,which works for some but was poisoning me. Byetta has the added benefits of helping me to lose weight which has pleased me no end.
only side effects was the first week of feeling nauseous but it does ware off. The main thing is it is keeping my sugar levels down,and things have stated to look up ever since I restarted Byetta.

I haven't really noticed many side effects. It is hard to remember when you are out shopping and decide to eat.
