Byetta (also known by the generic name Exenatide) is a medication that is used to treat type II diabetes. It is a manmade hormone that mimics a hormone naturally occurring in the human body called incretin. Incretin helps the body release insulin after the patient eats a meal.
Humans normally produce the hormone insulin. When we eat a meal, the food is broken down into several components, one of which is sugar. That sugar is taken via our bloodstream to all parts of our bodies so that our organs can use this sugar as energy. Insulin is responsible for taking the sugar that is in the blood and transferring it to our organs. The cells of people who have type II diabetes do not use insulin like they should; the cells seem to be resistant or react very sluggishly to the insulin. This results in the organs not getting the sugar and energy they need to function correctly, resulting in symptoms of diabetes such as fatigue, weakness, and many more symptoms, some of which are potentially life-threatening.
Byetta works by helping the pancreas release insulin. It also slows food from exiting the stomach which keeps the levels of glucose in the blood from getting too high too quickly after a meal. It also can help curb the appetite in some patients.
