Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your concern in depth .

@ Byetta has no side effect of such type , but it must be associated with
the alterations in the sugar levels with micro angiopathic changes
involving small vessels of the lower limb ( diabetic atherosclerosis )
@ Strongly recommended to take a Doppler ultrasound examination of the
lower limbs .

Hope this will help you .
Feel free to ask further queries .
