Using Byetta in Type 1 and Type 2

Now that we are using Byetta in type 1 and type 2 its time to talk about what they are doing that is alike. The type 2 patients are “softer” and easier to keep control as we start treatment with Byetta. All sulfonylureas are stopped and the only medications that persist are those that will not “push” the glucose down.The type 1 patient is more difficult to explain how to cut the insulin and all the correct instincts that made good control for those with type 1 are wrong for those people when starting Byetta. When I am told that “I'm taking 30% more insulin than before I was using Byetta and more insulin resistant” and I advise drastic cuts in insulin, It is very hard for anyone to believe that my advice is correct.

What’s even more fun is the discarding of medication. One gentleman today, two weeks on Byetta, had a little more than half the medication he was on discontinued. Another person with type 1, one month into the Byetta process, had a third of the remaining medications discontinued.

Who has ever taught anyone how to discontinue medications, much less insulin? Who has told anyone to reduce their insulin 90% from their usual dosage? Listen to all this though because if you follow those who are just slightly ahead of you, you will find your way into a new world. It’s your time.

December 9, 2005. Redwood City, CA. Dynamic. Resourceful. Concerned. Alert. Caring. Imagine a Doctor that has all these characteristics, and more. Meet Dr. Joe.

Dr. Joe Prendergast, MD---as one of the strongest proponents of self-healthcare-- and branded by both readers and patients as “The Uncommon Doctor”-- combines his own unique variety of techniques and medical practice to both meet and exceed the needs of his worldwide patient base.

Dr. Joe, one of California’s Premier Endocrinologists, arose above both personal hardship and his own illnesses to become one of the foremost practitioners and proponents of Arginine as a treatment of choice to both minimize diabetes and both offer help and hope for those suffering from both arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis.

From his offices in Redwood City, CA, Dr. Joe sees a variety of patients facing both shortened lifespan and restricted lifestyles; through his practice, he helps them to modify their lifestyles and begin a new, more rewarding life with fewer restrictions and broader opportunities for improvement.

In this, the first of his upcoming series of books on health self-improvement, Dr. Joe’s Rx for Managing Your Health, Prendergast faces both his own personal trials and demons—a unique set of challenges--to become the world-class Physician he has become today.

From his experiences and his intertwined work with that of Dr. Jack Kevorkian to the growth of his current World-Class medical practice, Dr. Joe shares in his book a synopsis of why lifestyle improvement is critical to successful living…and uses himself as an example.

Reversing the symptoms of illness and practicing self-healthcare techniques are two of the keys to a long and productive life, and Dr. Joe shares those techniques with his readers in his book. Dr. Joe’s Rx should be mandatory reading. His books, his CD presentations, and his Video presentations via DVD offer specific guidelines and opportunities for those patients diagnosed as Diabetic, those with compromised immune systems, and those for whom heart disease has begun.
