Diabetes & Byetta

We appreciate everyone’s patience and apologize for the unusually
frequent series of maintenance downtimes we have had to schedule
recently. The Holiday season gifted us with an unfortunate combination
of hardware failures and data corruption issues. Fortunately, we’re
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, although folks should
expect at least one more period of downtime in the coming weeks.

Hi Rebecca,

I am very familiar with the drug Byetta (I’ve collaborated with Amylin
on
some early research). The drug is a synthetic version of the Gila
peptide
exendin-4 (it’s all made in the lab–not involving Gila monsters). Most
of
the research involving exendin-4 uses the synthetic version also. Only a
(more…)

Apologies for the extremely late notice but because of a hardware
failure Groups will have 20 minutes of downtime tonight at 6:00 pm
Pacific time (Thursday January 5th). 25% of groups will be affected.

Into my 2nd day of the spit. My BS this morning pre shot was 315.I never
take my morning BS, I guess I still shouldn’t. My post breakfast # was 210

I have a question about the weight loss with Byetta. Someone mentioned that
not only did they get over their nausea but they also stopped losing weight
after a couple of months.

It makes sense that those of you who have nausea and loss of appetite would
lose weight <g>, but are there any of you who didn’t have the nausea and
appetite loss who did lose weight anyway?

Just wondering if the weight loss is related only to the nausea and appetite
loss or if Byetta was actually involved in the weight loss?

Thanks,

well today is thursday. i have not been able to keep anything down except a
small bowl of low carb ice cream since monday. i haven’t taken the byetta since
tuesday. and have been eating phenergan like candy but am still vomiting
everything that goes into my mouth. any body got any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

My name is Melissa and I joined the list a few days ago. I have spent the past
couple of days browsing through the archives for answers before I asked them
here. I started on 5 mg byetta last Thursday morning and was down 3 lbs by
Monday. No nausea at all, thankfully. Starting on Tuesday, I started gaining
that weight back and as of this morning I am actually up a little from the start
point.

To answer Rebecca’s question….yes, I get extremely tired after taking the
shot, feel like I need a nap. But then when I go to bed at night, I can’t go to
sleep. Is insomnia a side effect (does anyone know?)?

I have been having a little issue and have tried the suggestions in the archived
messages about insuring that you are getting the full does, but none of them
