HYPOGLYCEMIC and BYETTA

I am new to this forum, but not new to Byetta.....I have been successfully using Byetta sin 2005.....Long story short....started with 5mg inj....in 3 mons went to 10mg....after 18 months and 50 lbs weightloss and a A1C dropping to 7.0 I was returned to the 5mg dosage....ever since the weightloss, I have been suffering with hypoglycemia after each injection at the 45min to 90min range.....I am trying to find out if anyone else has suffered with hypoglycemia after the shots.....my doc said for me to eat something at the 55 min mark after an injection.....this has helped in some occasions.....I try to eat as lean as I can and don't understand what I am doing wrong.....I tried cutting all fats and adding more protein....this didn't really help.....I have tried adding more carbs.....this makes the nausea unbearable at times.....I am trying to read my body as best I can.....Its hard to determine whats sideeffects (nausea, yukky feeling, etc) or whats the onset of hypoglycemic symptoms.....I hate waiting for the jitters to start to determine I need a dose of sugar to stabalize me......sometimes I get anxiety in fear of passing out......I was told not to test my BS until 2 hours after taking my Byetta injection.....if anyone has any advise I would sure welcome it.....It seems after 6 years I would have this undercontrol.....but I am realizing its a constant change to cope with and new information is a constant need.....thank goodness we have internet forums to lean on.....how on Earth did our ancestors cope....I just want to feel some normalcy.....I am willing to do whats right, just knowing what that is can be so hard....pls help me if you can......

Thanks Lanie for responding.....I hate to believe I am the only one dealing with this problem....No I am not taking any other diabetic meds....my doc said I am insulin resistant and wanted to see if just the byetta would get my bs under control.....since then I have changed doctors, but he is not an endocronologist, he is in internal medicine....I am not understanding I guess what my bs should be before I eat.....I have read that if your bs is elevated above 140 that in itself can cause a sudden drop into hypo.....I haven't tried small meal, but usually on waking I take my morning blood pressure and synthroid before breakfast and byetta.....i drink a small cup of coffee with splenda....then breakfast with shot prior about 5 minutes......if I injection and wait past 15 mins I get to nauseas to eat much.....i usually try to eat small portions like everywhere recommends, but my bs just gets too low....i am starting to wonder if i should get off of byetta at this point....I am not at my goal weight, but I have lost 50 lbs all together....just not sure what to do....my doc says there is a risk my bs will rise to a higher level if I do.....If you know any sites I could research this problem at I surely would appreciate the info....I won't stop trying....the inbetween times are good....just the 2 and half hours after breakfast and dinner is horrible....
