Give My Regards to Byetta
Delta Burke is an emmy-nominated Broadway actress who has also appeared in movies like What Women Want and TV shows like Boston Legal and most notably Designing Women. She’s now weighing in, literally, on the benefits of Byetta (see our Learning Curve on Byetta). She’ll be joined by the renowned Diabetic Chef Chris Smith, a Bally’s Total Fitness Trainer, and one of our very own diaTribe advisors, Virginia Valentine, who takes Byetta herself for her type 2 diabetes. The team started in Boston on March 17 at the New England Spring Flower Show and plans to hit Atlanta’s Dogwood Festival, New York’s Third Avenue Merchants Spring Expo, Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Row Spring Festival, San Francisco Bay Area’s A La Carte and Art Festival, Washington DC’s National Capital Barbecue Battle, Chicago’s Taste of Chicago, Dallas’ Taste of Dallas, Michigan’s Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, and Los Angeles’ Ventura County Fair. While Amylin Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Byetta, has regaled physicians and many educators with the benefits of Byetta, this is really the first time they’ll be telling you directly! We’ve heard some excellent success stories about Byetta and its ability to reduce post-meal glucose, A1c, and satiety (or hunger), not to mention your weight, and we know the drug can be quite powerful for the right people – at last glance, well over half a million people in the US alone were taking Byetta and many in Europe were ready to try it.
