Seems there are no magic drugs.  They all have risks. 

Use of exenatide (Byetta, Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc) may be linked to a risk for pancreatitis, the US Food and Drug Administration warned healthcare professionals yesterday.

    What is “exenatide”/Byetta? I had pancreatitis in Feb 2006 and was hospitalized for a month in a hospital that was an hour and a half away from my family. It sucked really bad. I had never felt so lonely in my entire life. My mother (in Oklahoma) came to stay with me for a week, then my husband took off to stay with me for a week after she left. After that I was by myself with only visits from the inlaws like twice a week. PLUS, we just had a baby two months earlier. So yeah, anyways I’d like to know what that is please.. Thank you.
