Hi, Flute! I got VERY nauseas for a long time on Byetta. For about a month or two. So much so I wasn't holding anything down after eating. My doc and I did a little "experiment" and found out that it...
I have gas too but luckily it isn't the stinky kind, lol....
Another Byetta ? . . . The appetite reduction when I started Byetta was fabulous. It helped lose those extra pounds and help control food urges which made it super easy to eat right. However, the...
That's something you'd have to discuss with your doctor. I was told that each shot must be taken 6 hours apart....
Hey there. I've been a Byetta user for a few months now. I love it, congrats on starting a wonderful new med. about traveling . . . it you call the byetta hotline, they will send you a free travel...
Same thing happens to me, this "rebound", I noticed. When I skip lunch my bg is normal but then raises all on it's own without me eating anything....
If he had a urine test, they use the sample to test for glucose being passed into the urine. Do you know any diabetics that would have a meter?...
I understand your pain! I was completely bedridden for weeks from the nausea. I threw up almost every time I ate. I had horrible nausea and also burning headaches. It just wouldn't stop no matter...
Hey, Hilary. I know how you're feeling. I've been on Byetta 5 mcg accouple months now almost. I've lost 20 lbs which is great but I miss eating! Sometimes dinner rolls around and I skipped lunch and...
Just watch our for side effects! They can be icky....
Saw the doc today. My a1c went from 13 in April to 10 in June. And that was just from taking 500 mg of Metformin ONCE a day. I expect my next one to be even lower. We have taken me off of Metformin....
My doc told me today at the appointment that many of her patients have success with using cinnamon just by sprinkling it on oatmeal or something. I'll have to try it....
I'm actually thinking that I might by MODY, which means that I'm not insulin resistent, right? It would mean that I produce insulin but not enough. Which would also explain why I reacted to insulin...
Well, I did some "experimenting". Sunday I took only the Metformin. Today I only took the Byetta, instead of doing both. Havoc on my blood sugars I know but I figure after years of neglecting my...
Actually I posted something very similar to this. I've been on byetta 5 mcg for almost a month. I've lost 20 lbs and can't eat anything and what I do eat I throw up usually. I don't know what to tell...
My BG today was 433. Hasn't been that high in months! But I stopped taking my Byetta last night and today. I COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE NAUSEA! I threw up almost every day this week, twice while riding...
The thing about Byetta is this . . . it helps your pancreas make its own insulin and also slows down the digestive track so your glucose doesn't enter your blood stream all at once. I don't see how...
Oh actually, sorry to add this. The reason I was going to post in the first place. I take 5 mcg in the AM and 10 at night. You need two separate pens to do this. I had upped to 10 and 10 but got such...
Funny, I use a huge spiral notebook to record my blood sugars. It's useful to know what my blood sugars are and at what time. Sometimes I test accouple hours after I eat. And I also add little notes...
I'm new to the board and wanted to introduce myself and share my story. It's quite long and I've been through some ups and downs (mostly downs) but after ten years I finally received the correct...
