My doctor just talked about doing Byetta on my last visit and I've been
reading this group and the Byetta blogs plus the Byetta web site to get
educated about it.  A couple of questions though that are still not clear to
me.

I'm Type 2 but using Insulin (N) for almost a year now along with orals.  So
with that background here's some questions:

1) What are the storage requirements for Byetta?  Is it about the same as
insulin or do you have to watch keeping it cool really close (in other words
when you go out to eat for instance do you take the injector with you in
order to inject just before the meal and its fine being out of refrigeration
for a couple of hours till you get back home).

2) Lots of talk about nausea.  I'm still not clear though are most people
experiencing a queasy feeling or actually upchucking?

3) Anything else you would care to tell someone exploring Byetta (remember
I've been Type 2 for 12 years, with insulin the past year so I'm familiar
with the injection aspect of this already).

P.S. Just a funny story about injections.  My wife has to take a once a week
injection for MS.  Her needle is an intramuscular 23 guage needle, I'm using
31 guage short.  Even though I take 2 shots a day plus finger sticks I've
learned to stop whining about it.  The other night we were both sitting
there at the same time doing shots (pretty pathetic picture that is) when I
whined a little and she said something like "Ya, well I'll bet your whole
needle would fit inside of mine".  So of course I had to check that out.  I
held hers pointed up and lowered mine.  Sure enough my whole needle slid
right into the channel of her needle and when I let go of it it sort of
wobbled around.  Not only did it fit but it wasn't even snug in there.
Whenever I go to do my shot and I get that slight hesitation I always feel
guilty.  I could have to stick that big AND long thing in me.  No thanks,
I'll just stick to my tiny little thing.....
