I started taking 10mcg one week aphter (ephs don't work today) :) I started Byetta. It is weird, but I am accepting the nausea because it makes me pheel that the Byetta is working. I have lost 15lbs since July 2011 and my bs is doing good. My bs is better when I add walking to my routine. I only eat 3 small meals a day...and supplement with metphormin.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Lisa and I'm new to the forum,
I have been on Byetta 5micrograms for two weeks now and it has lowered my blood sugars slightly from an average 10.6 to 8.9 I also don't seem to be having the side effects of the feeling sick or appetite suppression, In fact I've gained 4lbs!
I am due an increase to 10 micrograms in 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and if so, did the 10micrograms work better?

Doug, thank you very much for this advice! I will call some free clinics.

Please be careful, it is a federal crime to resell your prescription drugs. You could go to jail. I would call around and find a clinic or medical center that offers help to the needy and see if they can accept the byetta from you, this my be illegal as well, but if they can accept it you can write it off as a charitable donation.

My dr. took me off Byetta. I have 3 months' supply in refrigerator, unopened. This is $856 worth for which I paid $215 co-pay. Right Source RX will not take it back. I am stuck. This hasn't been opened and it is new. If anyone wants it, I will accept whatever you can pay me for it. I hate to throw it away. Please email me pattypeppy@sbcglobal.net. I will pack it in styrofoam with ice pack, like I received it.

As I said in my last response to you. this is how you start the program:
You must go on a 12 day sugar free fast, no sweeteners(both natural and artificial) of any kind, no fruit, no fruit juice., no bread, our any flour or grain. Eat lean protein, Veggies( no potatoes) legumes, Dairy,the only oils are EVOO, peanut oil for frying and coconut oil; nuts, Cinnamon- 2 tsp a day(add it to yogurt, coffee or tea), limit caffeine, drink green tea brewed not bottled, 3 x day. Drink water, NO SODA! Read labels, Do not eat anything with soybean oil, hydrogenated fat, added sugar including:honey, agave, fructose,maltose, etc such as bottled salad dressings, mayo, ketchup, BBQ sauce. Prepare all your meals, no eating out for the first 12 days. Start walking! 30 mins a day, 2 x 10mins if you have to. Contact me when you have been on this for 10 days

Can anyone share with me the 30 Day Diabetes Cure? I don't have the money to buy the book and I need help!
Thanks,
Sister

Here are the two that tie my discussion together: (repost)
I have been in denial about my diabetes for 10 years. What I mean is I have been unwilling of give up candy and cake and refined flour products, so I take Byetta, Metformin, Actos, and Avandia. I exercise and my AC1 is consistently below 7, and my doctors have been happy. Well I am sick of injecting myself, and more so worried that I have not been able to lose any weight even though I workout 3 or more times a week. I spend a lot of time online, and came across a website claiming a 30-day cure to diabetes, it took several weeks of thought and I decided to buy the book, and start the 10 day phase on this past Sunday, Saturday night I had my farewell desserts (Apple pie, Lemon Meringue pie, a Pear tart, half a pound of M&Ms, just to give you an idea). My Monday morning GL was 197 and my bedtime was 114. On Day two my fasting GL was 174 and bedtime was 131..today my fasting glucose was 134 at 7AM and after a 30 minute workout and before breakfast it was 104. What I'm getting at is just 4 days and my glucose is getting into normal ranges, and more so my point is this clearly shows it is what you eat. So what am I eating, for the first 10 days: Veggies minus potatoes, but pumpkin/squash is in, legumes, cheese, eggs, yogurt, milk, meat &/or tofu and healthy fats: butter and EVO. After 10 days fruit and WHOLE-GRAINS get added, after that not sure haven't read that far yet, but I can pretty well assume SUGAR will never be reintroduced. At the end of 30 days, basically the New year, I'll see if I can get off or reduce my meds, and how I feel, and who know maybe I can be happy with getting my sweets from fruit. I know it is a struggle, but if I can take the step so can you. Happy Holidays!
Addiction to Carbs is like any other addiction, so breaking the cycle is impossible until you get it out of your system. They say it takes 10 DAYS, so like any other obstacle I have ever had to face (I quit smoking), I picked a day and told myself it is 10 days I can do this. The book is called the 30 day Diabetes Cure and is available online from: More Information it costs ~$45 w/shipping and this is the associated website: http://myhealingkitchen.com/
The plan is easy, it's the education of why that is the value of the book. If money is tight you can see if your Public Library has a copy.
