Hey Ladies -- my endo suggested that I go on Byetta. I have lost 26 lbs through diet/exercise since first going on meds almost 2 years ago. It's so hard to take weight off and I figured I have nothing to lose by trying this med - I'm doing the work anyway.
I was curious about diet though. What have you all done to reduce the possible side effects? If you eat right and exercise, does it help? How long do the side effects usually last for? Do you have any other tips for making sure this drug works for you?
Also, does anybody else have any Byetta success stories? How long do you usually have to stay on this drug in order to see results?
Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
