Byetta® is a diabetes medication that can improve insulin production in those with type-2-diabetes. To properly use Byetta®, patients will need to inject a dose 30 to 60 minutes before the first and last meals of their day.

Produced by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly, Byetta® comes in the form of a pen that efficiently doles out precise amounts of the drug. Byetta® pens expire and should be thrown out 30 days after their initial use.

Who Can Use Byetta®: Type 1 vs. Type 2-Diabetes Patients

Because Byetta® is only indicated for those with type 2-diabetes, it's important to note the distinctions between type 1- and type 2-diabetes.

• Type 1-diabetes, also referred to as juvenile diabetes, is an incurable condition in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough (if any) insulin from birth. Those with type 1-diabetes will need to take insulin as part of the lifelong treatment of their condition. Byetta® is not indicated for those with type 1-diabetes.
• Type 2-diabetes, in contrast, is a condition in which the pancreas slows down or stops insulin production later in life. Also known as adult-onset diabetes, type 2-diabetes can be controlled with healthful eating and regular exercise. Not all type 2-diabetes patients will need to take insulin as part of their ongoing treatment regimens, but using Byetta® has been proven effective for these diabetes patients.

Benefits of Byetta®

Since its 2005 introduction, Byetta® has changed the way that some people control their type 2-diabetes. The Byetta® medication is particularly easier to use than other type 2-diabetes treatments because:

• It promotes the body's natural processes.
• Patients don't have to adjust their doses based on how much they have recently exercised or eaten.
• The pen-injection form of this drug prevents patients from ever having to measure their doses.

Patients taking Byetta® will still need to regularly check their blood glucose levels – both at home and at their doctor's office.

Byetta® Side Effects

Although Byetta® is effective and has some revolutionary features, like many modern prescriptions, this medication does have some associated side effects, including:

• diarrhea
• dizziness
• headache
• indigestion
• loss of appetite
• nausea
• shakiness
• vomiting
• weight loss

These Byetta® side effects, while common, are fairly minor and won't significantly debilitate most type 2-diabetes patients.

More Serious Byetta® Side Effects

However, in rare cases, taking Byetta® can result in severe side effects, including:

• chest pain
• hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar)
• intense stomach pain associated with vomiting
• pancreatitis (a condition in which inflammation of the pancreas can lead to blood infection and death, if left untreated)
• severe allergic reactions (including breathing problems and facial swelling)

To avoid such Byetta® side effects, be sure to discuss your full medical history, as well as any prescriptions you are taking, with your doctor.

Similarly, visit your doctor immediately if you start experiencing negative reactions to Byetta®, as these can indicate the development of serious, potentially life-threatening side effects.
