Anybody here take Lizard Spit?
I am Diabetic and was just today placed on the new miracle drug BYETTA. It is an injection and was originally developed from the saliva of the Gila Monster, hence it's nickname Lizard Spit. It is supposed to help me control my sugar and it has a nasty little side effect of making you lose weight, and I mean a fair amount!!
I frequently ride alone and cover upwards of 50 miles at 80% - 85% Max Heart Rate for up to 3 hours at a time. I'd hate to bottom out on my sugar and die on the road somewhere. Does anybody else take this drug, and how has it affected your cycling routine? Are there any medical folks on here who know about this? I can find nothing on the Net about heavy exerise and BYETTA.
