[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 3614, member: 1338"] Hi bbsue, nice to have a fellow byetta user on here at last. I presume you have started on the 5mcg pen? I was on that for a month, which appears to be the norm, and now on the 10mcg for 2 months. Interesting that you are able to get it on NHS because many PCTs refuse to let doctors prescribe it, even though NICE have approved it. Which PCT do you come under? Hopefully your nausea will wear off after a few days. Mine did although the nausea symptoms seem to wear off quicker for men than women. As Marty says it helps for the first couple of weeks if you avoid anything spicy, but once the nausea goes you can eat pretty much as normal. You can take the injection any time up to an hour before eating, and many have found that the longer the gap between the jab and the food then the less hungry you feel so will eat less. Whatever you do don't have the jab and then not eat, or take the jab after you have eaten. Either of these can result in a serious hypo. If there's anything you are not sure of on byetta just ask. I'll answer if I can, but I can recommend the byetta users blog in the States. Some of the contributors have been using it for 2 years or more and are very knowledgeable about it.
