Mild side effects of Byetta include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache or constipation. Byetta is a relatively safe drug but since it is combined with other anti diabetic drugs, low blood sugar can occur. Symptoms of low sugar include sweating, fast heart rate, abdominal pain, tremors, confusion, chills, drowsiness, fainting, headache or tingling. IF these symptoms do occur, one must immediately drink a glass of orange juice. It is recommended that all diabetics carry candy or a sugar pill. if you develop consistent headaches, you must measure your blood sugars to ensure that you do not have hypoglycemia. If your sugars are fine, and you still develop a headache, it is time to see your doctor. The only way to tell if the headaches are related is to stop the drug and seeing what happens.
