Lizard Spit is as effective as insulin

Not only that, they didn't see the weight gain in the Byetta group.
FYI: I went to the pump because when I was on MDI, I kept having to eat to avoid lows and I kept gaining weight. I have done much better on the pump. If Byetta had been available I probably would have tried that first. I'm happy with the pump life though.
Diabetes In Control - Exenatide As Effective As Insulin
Results from a study indicating that exenatide improves blood sugar levels as effectively as biphasic insulin aspart 30/70 (NovoMix 30(R), NovoNordisk) for people with type 2 diabetes failing to achieve acceptable blood sugar control on both metformin and a sulfonylurea. This long-term clinical trial is the second study conducted at European clinical centers demonstrating that exenatide can control blood sugar as effectively as insulin.
