Hey! Welcome, I am a newb as well ;P

I was put on Byetta at 17 for being insulin resistant and did drop about 20lbs without changing what foods I ate. Byetta pretty much changes the amount you can eat. I'd only eat one plate of Chinese food instead of three and felt stuffed. I am sure I would have lost a lot more had I changed what I ate.

I got re-prescribed it this past Friday only to find out from the phamacy that my insurance (which is a rather large, good insurance company) doesn't want to prescribe it to me until I try metformin despite having already tried Jaunuvia. So, now even though I have used Byetta before for a good year or so, now I have to fight it with the insurance company.

It makes me so mad. Funny thing is they paid for Phentermine but not the Byetta.

Personally, I loved Byetta. The results outweigh the self injections by far.
