New to Diabetes and Group

Hello all. This is my first time actually doing a post to this site.
I was diagnosed with mild diabetes (doctor’s words, not mine), if there
is such a thing, back in October 2006 while in the hospital with
asthma. I’m not new to diabetes in the sense that my mother has it as
well. I started on the Byetta back in April of this year. Before that
I was doing diet and exercise. My A1C improved with just those two
things but I wanted extra help after seeing the wonderful things this
drug has done for my mother. Does anyone notice that the Byetta seems
to be watered down? My mother seems to think it’s because of the great
demand for it. The appetite suppression factor seems to wane at
times. What has been your experiences?

    Actually, that thought has run through my mind many times but I think the
    penalties should they be caught doing it would be so severe that they would
    not run that risk. I really think it has to do with the flucuations of
    individuals…. their hormones, amount of insulin resistance, length of time
    they have had the disease, individual patterns of use, etc. Diabetes is a
    disease that has been difficult to treat and no medication has had
    consistent results.
