Well I went to see the Diabetes Doctor yesterday and she awarded me the GOLD STAR! She was thrilled with all of my blood work results and weight loss.
To date I have lost 40 lbs and my test results are as follows:
---My sugar average is 103---which means I have normal blood sugar and I am causing no damage to my body...meaning Kidney, Liver functions and all blood levels are within a normal range.
---Three months ago my total cholesterol level was 235 and it is now 180. My bad LDL cholesterol was 160 and is now 119....my goal is 100 > HOWEVER....I am out of the danger level because 101-129 is considered to be near optimal though 100 and less is the target that the American Heart Association says we should all strive for.
She still has me on Byetta at 5mcg 2x a day and I will probably stay on that for the rest of my life but it is not insuln so that is fantastic!
All in all it was a great visit and I was very pleased and relieved when I left her office!

Byetta is still not available in Canada, as it is going through all the red tape, etc....but I imagine a lot of people will be very pleased with the results!!!!
