Hi Linda....Oh this sounds very familiar to me. All I can share from my own experience is to make sure you eat enough protein and carb at your meal after a injection. Try to take any medications that are due at least 30 mins before your injection....
Well here we go with a new month...6 months into 2009...Where does the time go....Oh I remember...Day by Day with Diabetes...Hour by Hour with Byetta....Oh Well...guess someone has to carry this cross.....I just thought I would give all of you a S...
Maybe you need to go back to 5 mcg shots? Ask your doc and let us know how you are now. I've been told that Byetta's effect is cumulative over time ---- and you should be working toward lowering your dose and getting off B. at some point when the ...
Wow 40 lb in such a short time it is a miracle drug.
Thanks Jenny for replying to quickly. I am trying very hard to get a clear cut picture of how my body is working. I have lost about 40 lbs since I started Byetta Nov 2007. It has greatly lowed my numbers. When I test my BG about 2 hours after inje...
Thanks for keeping us posted. It is a shame that with these treatments that you have to pay a lot and also win the lottery since it does not work in most patients.
I found that with and without 1500 mg of metformin my average BG and it's variance...
What Byetta does is cause your stomach valve at the bottom of the stomach to stay closed. So if you need to digest something, like a medication, you must take it before the Byetta. Otherwise it may sit undigested in your stomach.
One other thing ...
Being a T2d patient on Byetta, I have extreme anxiety when my body feels out of wack after an injection and a meal. I know its a side effect but my mind doesn't seem to get the picture and I get anxious and scared each time. How can I better contr...

Hi All You Byetta partners....I was just wondering how many of "us" know just how much this affects our daily health. I know that some days I feel good....but then some days I feel really bad.....So many instant changes after eating just the wrong...
Hi Steve.....I am glad your hanging tough. Every person reacts differently to meds. That is the chemistry thing in our bodies.....but having Hope and a Positive outlook will surely help. Good to see your BS numbers are changing that is the main po...
Hi Sue.....I thought I would see how ur doing. I assume your on the 5mcg shots. I want to encourage you to hang in there and do as your doc has adviced. Each person is different, but the majority on Byetta that I have shared with has always succee...
Hi Joyce....Thought I would check in on how your doing. Sounds like your on the right track. Having a positive and hopeful attitude will take you along way. I didn't get as fast a weight loss with the 10mcg as with the 5. But no less I have been o...
Hi....I just wanted to check in and see how ur doing so far. Sounds like you were on a role. I am still doing great. Back on track after a minor dosage adjustment. The weight loss is slower, but I am feeling very grateful I am still losing.
