Byetta and PCOS?

Question by Emmy: Byetta and PCOS?
Hi, everyone!
I’ve been reading up on Byetta as a treatment for PCOS (off-label prescription) and the reports I’m seeing from individuals look pretty promising. I have PCOS, and generally normal glucose, but a pretty compelling family history of Type II diabetes and hyperinsulinemia. I haven’t had my own insulin level tested, though I do have some mild hypoglycemic symptoms.
Anyway, I’d like to go into my next checkup with my RE armed with some good info on Byetta. It looks from what I’m reading like it would work to control the hypoglycemic symptoms and stabilize my weight, which has been all over the place the last few years. Do you know of any clinical trials or studies that have been done for this use? I doubt the doc is going to be impressed with blog entries and message board posts, which is most of what I’ve found.
Thanks for any info you can provide!

I don’t know of any clinical studies on the issue of Byetta for the Insulin Resistance that can occur with PCOS for some women. One place you may be able to find out more is from the company who makes Byetta to see what they say. To get a hold of them go to: http://www.byetta.com and then check for a “Contact Us” section to see if they have a form you can fill out to find out more about this.
Another site you may be able to find some information in addition to the company is thru PubMed at PubMed.com.
One of the side effects that can occur from Byetta (based on what I’ve read) is that of nausea especially if the meals eaten aren’t big enough to cover it.
