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

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 <!--more--> 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.
