And your right, it doesn't change the dose, just where the medicine is deposited. Byetta is supposed to be a Sub q or Subcutaneous injection which is into the fat under the skin. For people who are more than mildly overweight the very smallest needles would be less than that. More like a TB test. I think the Larger needles for people who, like myself, are morbidly obese, it deposits it into more usable fat. Now....That's just me thinking. It could be a pile of poo poo. But i know that there were others on the list that had experienced this in the past. And now, it seems to be working for me. I think Michael also said it seemed to be that way for him. I am so happy for you and your weight loss. It is very encouraging for me. It makes me think that maybe i can do it too. Thanks for sharing it with me.
