Byetta (Exenatide Injection) is a new kind of medicine that was developed to help treat people with type 2 diabetes in a different way than pills or insulin. When used before your morning and evening meals, Byetta (Exenatide Injection) helps your body produce the right amount of insulin at the right time. This helps reduce some of the highs and lows associated with managing blood sugar. Byetta (Exenatide Injection) is taken as an injection, twice a day, at any time within the 60 minutes before your morning and evening meals. Byetta (Exenatide Injection) should not be taken after a meal.
Byetta (Exenatide Injection) comes in a prefilled pen with simple, fixed dosing for all patients. With Byetta (Exenatide Injection) you don't have to do additional blood measuring or guess what dose you need based on the size of your meal or how much you exercise. Because Byetta (Exenatide Injection) is a protein it must be taken by injection. If it were taken in pill form, your stomach would break it down just like the protein in the foods you eat, and it wouldn't work.

The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine may need to be reduced while you use Byetta (Exenatide Injection). Byetta (Exenatide Injection) is not a substitute for insulin in patients whose diabetes requires insulin treatment. Byetta (Exenatide Injection)has not been studied in children.
Byetta side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, feeling jittery, and acid stomach. Nausea is most common when first starting Byetta (Exenatide Injection), but decreases over time in most patients. Byetta (Exenatide Injection) may reduce your appetite, the amount of food you eat, and your weight.
