Phew.....thanks for that. :shock:
If you still have problems there is no reason why you cannot stay on the 5 mcg dose until such time as it settles down. You should discuss that with your GP. Have you had a search though this thread about the nausea. There are some simple remedies which mainly involve Ginger, in some way or another. Biscuits, Cordial, soda, fizzy drinks etc. They have helped many members here cope with it.
As for testing.....as you are on a new med you should really keep more records such as fasting, pre-meals, and at least 2 hrs after meals. That is what you really should be doing as Byetta especially in combo with other meds is a hypo inducing drug. You need to keep a close eye on the levels at this important time.
All sounds good so far, stick with it. Do not give up at the first hurdle. I can assure you it is well worth it......
