This is the 2nd Discussion Forum dedicated to this subject, and is a continuation of the previous forum on this subject. It was started on October 24, 2006, after what we call a “blogquake” happened — namely, the software underlying this blog became unstable and shook everybody up!

Notices to our new readers:

1) There is another Discussion Forum for swapping recipes: click here to go there.

2) I will insist that there shall be no promotion of herbs or other concoctions that alledgedly lower blood sugar: any such comments (for example, “I took vitamin Z and my blood sugar miraculously returned to normal”) will be deleted without warning.

3) I would suggest that anyone who is new to diabetes should read the articles at new to diabetes at DiabetesMonitor.com.

4) Also, the folks who are regular readers and writers about the new diabetes drug Byetta have developed all sorts of strange terms that you’ll gradually come to know, including “lizard spit”, “gillyspitkins”, “lizard of Az”, “yellow spit road”, “little brother” and “big brother”, “hug island”, and lots more. I think I’ll dedicate a new Discussion Forum soon to all this new lingo…

4) Also, you can still read many of the earlier comments, and search for information throughout those forums, by using your webbrowser’s FIND or SEARCH feature while at the earlier forums, or by searching at the advanced search feature that is at the Diabetes Monitor.

This Discussion Forum is for discussion of Byetta, an injectible medication for the treatment of diabetes. This is the 21st Discussion Forum dedicated to Byetta, and was started on October 23, 2006, after what we call a “blogquake” happened — namely, the software underlying this blog became unstable and shook everybody up!

Notice to our new readers:

The regular readers and writers at these Discussion Forums have developed all sorts of strange terms that you’ll gradually come to know, including “lizard spit”, “gillyspitkins”, “lizard of Az”, “yellow spit road”, “little brother” and “big brother”, “hug island”, and lots more.

There is a listing of all the Byetta Discussion Forums at a separate webpage: List of Byetta Forums. By the way, you’ll also find some information about Byetta at other Discussion Forums, including Traveling with diabetes, odds’n'ends and research about meds.

Also, you can still read the earlier comments (at the earlier weekly and monthly Byetta forums), and search for information throughout those forums, by using your webbrowser’s FIND or SEARCH feature while at the earlier forums, or by searching at the advanced search feature that is at the Diabetes Monitor.
