I used Byetta for a long time and I am not an expert or medical person.  You are best to get the information from your doctor.  Before I started using Byetta, I had to take classes from a nurse on how I had to inject Byetta into my stomach.  It was prescribed by my Doctor.  Byetta has side effects reported by some people but I had no problems with it other than the expense.  It does give you a feeling of fullness and it has a nickname (Spit).  That is because it was made with saliva of the Gila monster.  A lot of people who are not diabetics have been trying to get the prescription for it because it is also know to have a positive side effect (Helps people to quit smoking).  Hope this helps you with your question.

Not enough information in your post. Safe by itself? Safe with other medications? Safe with insulin? Safe for, with, or what? Try a Google search on 'how safe is byetta' for about 116,000 hits.
