Editor:
What a disconnect and what a disappointment! On page 32 of your February/March issue there is a warning that Byetta can cause acute pancreatitis, and then on page 36 there is an interview with a representative of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, which makes Byetta, extolling its virtues in an interview with Scott King. I hope your magazine isn't bought off by a paid ad for a medication that can cause serious side effects. I expect better from Diabetes Health.
