The drug Byetta is designed for people who suffer from diabetes, however, it is not insulin and makes the body better able to control it's blood sugar by mimicking a hormone known as incretin, allowing the insulin already in the body to work better. People taking the drug have reported feeling fuller for longer, although it has not been studied as an aid to weight loss for people with normal blood sugar levels.
