Even though I started hating Byetta toward the end, it still offered me at least one redeeming benefit. I held on to Byetta a lot longer than I should have mainly because it zapped my appetite. From roughly a week in I was hardly ever hungry. In fact, I found myself routinely having rabbit food several meals a day and feeling just fine about it.


I feared the hunger almost immediately, and within days of giving up on Byetta for a number of reasons, I started to experience that dreaded hunger once again. I even did some Google research on appetite suppressants hoping that I could try to have the best of Byetta and Novolog with some herbal or OTC remedy.


Fortunately, though, I am finding that I'm not always hungry, like I was prior to Byetta. This could be partly because I have an adjusted attitude and partly because I'm better able to manage my blood sugar and any highs I may have get put in their place. So I'm not walking around with high sugar most of the time.


Still, those times when I feel I've eaten a decent amount of food, I'm not high, and the hunger still creeps in make me want to throw my stomach out the window.
