The disadvantage here is that you inject before each major meal. A major meal is defined here as 250+ calories and 30+ carbs. Unless I was totally out of control with my current meds, I don't think I would want to carry this stuff with me all the time and inject at least three times per day. Unlike Januvia, it is reported as having some of the appetite suppression effects of Byetta. Nor is it currently available in a pen delivery system.
