Actually, it is not a pill, but an injection, and yet it is prescribed for weight loss and sugar control. It is called Byetta.  Staying away from sugar, carbs and fats is great, and shows a lot of self-control and self-management, which is excellent.

Sorry, I am new to this site and new to diabetes and Byetta: I see that this is under juvenile diabetes, which I know even less about. But, Byetta is remarkable for a lot of folks, and there are two newer, similar, products available also.

Not a pill, but you may want to discuss Byetta with your MD. It is an injection with the tiniest needle you will ever see, taken 30-60 min prior to breakfast and dinner. It helps with blood sugar and takes away your appetite by making you feel full. There are also two newer products. Good luck.
