"I love the Nanos. No issues with bending any of them and when I inject my leg it doesn't seem to nail the nerves as bad. The Mini's seem to go in to deep for the leg.No much recent activity on this site besides me."

jojo55 replied to Twixcookie's discussion 'What is best with Metformin?'"Byetta has turned my life around. I too was taking Metformin, 1,000 mg twice a day. I could not lose weight and I was miserable, not to mention my blood sugars were not doing so well. I started Byetta two years ago. I was very nauseous, but I was…"
Sarah replied to jojo55's discussion 'Nano needles' in the group Byetta Users Forum"(It has been a while since I logged on) Yeah, I just discovered those for myself recently. WTH? You would think someone would mention it... They are comfy though!"
jojo55 replied to jojo55's discussion 'Nano needles' in the group Byetta Users Forum"Thanks - I also went back to the 31 gauge 5/16 needles and got everything squared away. It was worth a try though - needles aren't always fun!"
Sarah replied to jojo55's discussion 'Nano needles' in the group Byetta Users Forum"I think the nano needles bend very easily. sometimes I look at it and it is bent when in the pen. I have the same concern - the pens last longer when I use the nanos! So I went back to the slightly larger 31 gauge 5/16. Good luck. And watch those…"

Nano needles
I have been taking Byetta for approx. 1-1/2 years and this last time the pharmacist suggested using the nano needles (quite small and short). I like them much better than any of the others I've tried, but I feel that I don't seem to be having the same fullness effect after my shots. I was wondering if anyone else had tried them and if they had any similar effects.See More

I have been taking it for 1-1/2 yrs. along w/metformin and have dropped over 60 lbs.! I have been nauseous off and on, and it's getting tiresome, but with only 15 more pounds to go to get to my goal I am sticking…"
jojo55 replied to Patrick O'Donnell's discussion 'tv show'"It is actually a synthetic form of the saliva and it works to control digestion. All I know is that it works. I've been on it for 1-1/2 years with outstanding results."
jojo55 replied to Twixcookie's discussion 'What is best with Metformin?'"I am now on 1000 mg of Metformin twice a day, along with Byetta 10 mg. twice a day. This has been a wonder drug (Byetta) for me. Yes, I get nauseous, but I'm FINALLY losing weight. I have been on it for 1-1/2 years and I've lost over 60…"

jojo55 replied to Penny Huddleston's discussion 'I am hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' in the group Byetta Users Forum"Yes. I do have days when I am hungrier than others. That's when I just SLOW DOWN and that helps a lot. Mostly my appetite is very small and even the thought of food makes me full. I have been on 10 mg. for over a year and I've lost over 60…"
jojo55 replied to Sue's discussion 'Nausea and hives/itching' in the group Byetta Users Forum"I've been using Byetta for 1-1/2 years along w/1000 mg. Metformin twice daily and I still have bouts of nausea every so often. I have been trying to watch what I'm eating before I get nauseous and for me, it seems to be milk products (I am…"
jojo55 replied to Sue's discussion 'Nausea and hives/itching' in the group Byetta Users Forum"Yes, sometimes I have spots that really hurt - it's hard to control the wincing! And then, some days I have no trouble at all."
jojo55 replied to AliOop's discussion 'New Byetta User Question' in the group Byetta Users Forum"I have had wonderful success with Byetta also and I find my appetite is curbed almost all the time. I have been on Byetta for 1-1/2 years now and there are still days when I get nauseous, but, like you, I am willing to stick it out because of the…"
jojo55 replied to Penny Huddleston's discussion 'I am hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' in the group Byetta Users Forum"I have days like that too, but they don't happen very often. I just try to keep things in check and not over do. I have been using Byetta for 1-1/2 years now and mostly don't eat very much or even want to. My tastes have totally changed."
