Hello I am new here. I was diagnosed in 2005. The first year I was in denial but tried a little to change. I took oral medications. Eventually, I added Byetta. The Byetta was great in many ways. For the first time I didn't feel hungry and my blood sugar was under control. At times I would feel nauseated and sometimes my blood sugar was too low but for the most part things were good. Then my mother-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away. I read Byetta has been linked to pancreatic cancer! I don't want cancer so I stopped Byetta. My doctor has me on metforim and glimepiride and levemir. I can't seem to remember all the meds and all I want to do is eat. I crave sweets and give into them. I feel awful. I miss the Byetta.
Is anyone else using Byetta and if so what are your feelings?
