Hello all
Thank you for the warm welcome, I have recently started Byetta and so far I have seen no lowering of BG levels and a worrying weight gain. I thought it was just that time of the month, but it's still with me and I'm putting on weight on my chest, which has never happened before.
I feel exhausted all the time, run down, depressed and generally not well, can I attribute all this to the medication? The idea was to increase my dose after a month, but to be honest, since nothing seems to lower my levels and is causing weight gain, the last thing I want to do is increase the dosage. Maybe insulin is the only answer, but at least I would at last see a reduction in BG levels, even if I have to cope with the weight gain.
Could I please ask for members' experiences - obviously it looks as though I will be looking for bad experiences rather than good ones...
