Byetta Club 2 Hi. I was the originator of the Byetta Club thread and I saw a message from Kat asking someone to start a new one. Who better then me? LOL.
Here is the link to the original thread: Byetta Club
I wanted to update my own history with Byetta. I am taking it since April of 2006. My doctor will be taking me off Byetta next April. She feels that it loses effectiveness after three years. I am down to 178 pounds from a starting weight of 236 or so. My insulin levels are still elevated somewhat but not as bad as before. I am taking Chromium 500 mg twice a day and Metformin 1000 mg twice a day. My goal is to try to get to 150's by April. I want my weight as close to normal as possible by the time she takes me off the Byetta.
__________________ Meds: Glucophage 1000 mg 2 x a day. Byetta 5 mcg 2 x a day. Taking a break from Byetta as of 10/9/09 until at least Jan 01 2010
Chromium 500 mg 2 x a day, Inositol 650 mg 2 x a day, Vitamin D 1000 IU once a day.
