The Eli Lily rep who taight the Byetta classes I attended said not to worry about the air bubble. It does rise to the top when the pen is held vertically, needle down, and poses not problem.
The only trouble I've had with the pen is several drops...
Hi, Sarah.
Something you might consider discussing with your endo:
I'm currently under a lot of stress, with a family health crisis [my Dad's just going into hospice next week, after 2 weeks in the ICU and 8 years of severely and steadily declin...
Hi, Jerry --- was having same problem recently, but diabetes educator told me to eat a small protein snack before bedtime. Reason is body is lacking protein and thinks it needs to retain glucose or the body will starve during the 6 to 8 hours of n...
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...
Hi, Kathy
Thanks for sharing this. I guess you start getting nauseous if you wait more than 30 minutes after your shot to start eating? Closer to 60 min. works for me, but as you say, everyone's body works different,
I've been charting my number...
Follow-up: The last five days all of a sudden my blood sugars are lower. I read something in the Blood Sugar 101website about timing of other meds in addition to Byetta which was really helpful. My oral meds seemed to be doing nothing. Then I read...

My numbers are running high like yours were and I did the home A1c test and the numbers are up over 9 [started at 8.4]. The doc saw the 17 lbs weight loss and said everything wa...
Hi, Sarah Congrats on the good work and results! I started Byetta in April and threw myself into exercise and diet. I'm down 17 lbs. and still losing. My numbers, like yours, are also up there. I saw my endo on Wednesday and he said not to worry a...

I asked my doctor about it on my last visit, she said she had heard it will be very expensive, don't know what the cost will be, byetta is expensive already.
Anyone heard anything about this new drug called "Victoza" currently undergoing approval testing? From WebMD June 8, 2009:
A new diabetes drug -- to be called Victoza if approved -- works better than Byetta, a head-to-head clinical trial shows. B...

Maria said… - Thank you for your inspiring comment, I am not on Byetta, but am Type 1 + take shots + will try using the H.A.L.T slogan you mentioned to stave off the eating when the Hunger hits + to question what is causing it first. I know I will have plenty of opportunity to put this into practice as I do I feel hungry very often !!
