Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Byetta should be taken within 60 minutes after taking your meals. This is the recommended way to take your this drug. Besides using drugs to control your diabetes, please exercise and limiting you intake of sugars is also helpful. regular check up and adherence to treatment plan helps prevent complications.
