Byetta-the best medication ever!

Okay, let me tell you a little bit more about myself. I have been diabetic for about two years and it has taken that long to get it under control. I have tried several different types of medications.
To no avail none of them have even put a dent into my numbers. I first tried Metformin, which is what they put most people on, and I started loosing weight because I had diarrhea really bad! I thought that was normal until I had to go the emergency room because my blood sugars got up over 350. I was told that was not normal and my Dr. should change my medicines. I then went to Avadaryl and on that I gained about 30 pounds. I feel a lot if it was water retention. I went in when I heard that Avandia was know to cause heart issues.

Now my Dr. has me on Byetta! I LOVE IT!!!! I have done lots of research and have heard not one bad thing. It is the most awesome thing since sliced bread!!! I have been on it for three weeks and have lost three pounds and I don't know how many inches. I started out on the 5 Pen and in a couple days will go to the 10 pen. This is the first type medication that TRULY helps with appetite. I have tried SEVERAL weight loss plans and each of them the I always felt like ... ok I am going to rip your eyes out if you don't get me more food. Now I am like food makes me sick... :)

My other posts will not be this long but I encourage you if you have the opportunity to check out Byetta I would.
