my first visit to the Endo (I was being managed by my Internist), I am

now off all my Insulin! I am on Metformin and Avandia plus Byetta. I

have lost 30 lb, feel great and he's now taking me off one dose of the

Metformin/Avandia because my counts a bit low. I never thought I would

hear that!!! I am thrilled to have found this doctor and wish I had

gone to him sooner.

Hope everyone is doing as well. Hang there!!

How much of that do you think is due to Byetta? I know several people

who are dropping meds and they attribute it to Byetta.

,

I think a LOT of it has to do with the Byetta. Not all of it, but a lot. I

didn't start the Byetta until December, but I do know it has helped me

tremendously...the side effects have not been too bad for me.
