    Good product, but it took ages to be delivered. Maybe it’s because I ordered it during the holiday season, but it took almost two weeks to receive the parcel. Hopefully, there won’t be such incidents in the future again.

    I can’t say anything about Byetta’s effect because I’ve just received it (I’m starting my therapy in a few days). However, I want to point out that Insulin.Store did an excellent job delivering my parcel in just three days. It’s the fastest international shipping ever, I love it!

    I was recently switched to Byetta and, well, I have absolutely no complaints. The transition was easy, I didn’t have any side effects. Overall, the product is excellent, I like it a lot.

    I am not a doctor to recommend or do not recommend you a certain product to treat insulin. So, I will just share my individual experience with “Insulin Byetta Pen 5mcg 1.2ml.” I live with type 2 diabetes for many years now. Earlier, I tried to manage my blood glucose levels by means of maintaining a balanced diet (without artificial sugar and too fatty food) and regular sports. However, it had a little positive effect, if to be honest. So, the doctor prescribed me Byetta injections. And, it has worked as a “magic wand” in my case. Two quick and painless injections a day made me feel much better! I do not have any symptoms of diabetes anymore and, as my tests show, my blood glucose levels remain more or less normal. Gonna definitely continue using Byetta.
