Wow your stats are great. I have been on Byetta since June 08 and had really great results (IMO) so far, but they seem to be tappering off a bit. I am not as 'full' as I was in the begining and some of my cravings are back to some degree. But I am still trying to make it work for me a bit longer. I was afraid of the scale so I am not 100% sure how much I have lost, but I would guess 20-25# & I could easily lose 50# more and be at a comfortable weight for me. I have not been back to my dr since starting, but I have labs and an appointment the end of October so I will get some 'official' results!!

I am not diabetic, just IR to some degree. I am also on Metformin, but only 500 mg per day. I know I will need to up that soon and maybe it will help me stay on track??? I also take Spiro & use vaniqua for unwanted hair and I will say I am having good results with that too. Again I am on a low dose (25 mg) per day and I am guess my Dr. will increase that at my appt later in Oct. But I am noticing a significant decrease in my chin hair!! Without laser!!!!!
anyway that is my update .... I am not sure how much longer I can afford Byetta, but I plan to stay on it for as long as I can (& it's working for me)!
