This medication seems to be a god-send for some and a nightmare for others. I fell into the nightmare catagory and had to cease taking it immediately. I also believe that it did more damage than help and made my D worse due to the gastrointestinal...

Well now that you mention it, I believe my BP has risen a bit since using Byetta too. I have also had some lows where my symptoms feel like adrenaline rushes which affect the pulse. I've just been living with it all as part of the treatment.

I would let your Dr. know about these symptoms right away so he can discuss a corrective course of action with you. I tried Byetta and it didn't work at all for me. Right from the beginning, the nausea was debilitating and then the whole thing bac...

Just thinking aloud: Are you eating 5 small meals a day: 3 larger, 2 smaller? Every 3 hours have something, a snack perhaps might stave off feeling ravenous. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day was also recommended to me. I am on 10mcg of Byetta twi...

Todd T. replied to Penny Huddleston's discussion 'What can you eat for breakfast?'
Egg, ham or other meat and a bit of fruit (couple grapes, cantalope, peach, orange), no bread, I would rather have fruit. Use to have toast but I get a spike so no more. No potatoes, no cereal. Breakfast is easy, maybe boring, but easy.

lean shaved ham in a scrambled egg is good, or veggies in scrambled or omelet.. sometimes I add one hashbrown [15carbs] for a treat. I cannot tolerate bread..too high a spike.

Are you OK with yogurt? My usual breakfast is nonfat plain, vanilla, or honey-flavored Greek yogurt (lower in carbs, higher in protein than normal yogurt) with ground flax seed or shelled hemp seed (both high in omega-3's, good for heart health) a...
