WASHINGTON (AP) - Type 2 diabetics got a new option to help control their blood sugar Friday, a drug derived from the saliva of the Gila monster - but one that must be injected twice a day.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Byetta, known chemically as exenatide, the first in a new class of medications for Type 2 diabetes - but for now, it's supposed to be used together with older diabetes drugs, not alone.
Makers Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) said the prescription drug would begin selling by June 1, but wouldn't provide a price.

Welcome! You will find us an affable bunch. Don't let the trolls bait you. Don't fight the urge to lay on hot rocks or wear Armani suits, either. Those are natural parts of the lizardification processsssssss.
The drug is made from the saliva of the Gila monster lizard, which lives in the Arizona desert and eats just four times a year. It is the first of a new class of drugs known as incretin mimetics. Incretin is released in the human gut in response to food.

The lizards don't need the things we humans need to survive here on this world. That's why they assist us in the destruction of the world, it's not really destructing the metals they wish to gather. They are not real interested in the food and vegetable life of the planet.
Once they have successfully lizardificated us with their lizardification process, we will all be deported to serve them as our masters. We'll do the real crap work of their worlds working for free without the need to even eat.
