still hungry?
hello everyone, i’m going on my 3rd week on Byetta. the first week i
noticed it did curb my appetite. well lately i have been really hungry
after about four hours, but i do notice i do get full faster. I’m
still having problems with that drop of med at the end of the needle,
do y’all think i’m getting hungry because i’m not getting the full
dose? Thanks you in advance!!!

I’ve been on Byetta since February. I remember about 3 weeks into using
Byetta, it seemed as if my hunger came back. My numbers were still good and
I felt great, so I kept taking it. I also remember wondering if it had quit
working for me.
To date, I’m down 29 lbs. My numbers get better every day and I have more
energy that I’ve had in years. My advice to you is to keep taking it and
give the medicine some time to work. I think at three weeks your body ( and
mine) was still getting used to the medicine.
I usually always have a drop of medicine on the end of my needle. According
to the Byetta website, it is normal.
Why is BYETTA leaking from the needle after I finished my injection?
It is normal for a *single* drop to remain on the tip of your needle after
your injection is complete. If you see more than one drop, this indicates
that you may not have received your full dose. Do not inject another
dose. *Consult
your healthcare professional about how to handle a partial dose.* To prevent
the needle from leaking in the future, firmly push and hold the injection
button in and slowly count to five.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the info, i guess it would make sense that my
body is still adjusting to the meds. I still haven’t seen a
difference in my #’s but maybe the 10mcg will help. thanks again
