I am not on Byetta, but I have seen beneficial effects in quite a few patients. The best thing is that it is NOT insulin; it is called an incretin mimetic. Basically, when there is food in the gut, it (incretin) tells the pancreas to release insulin; when tere is no food, there is no insulin. Byetta mimics incretin. That means 2 things: 1) No hypoglycemia, and 2) it helps lose weight instead of gaining.
