[QUOTE="rudini, post: 29628, member: 11516"] I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in September. We returned from holiday and I felt terrible. Long story short, I was admitted to hospital with a blood sugar of 36. Discharged the next day with a prescription for Lantus and Byetta. The Byetta was supposed to help me lose weight, only I didn't get the nausea and curbed appetite most people get. I've gained 5 lbs since I started diabetes meds. I have other problems too. I have cirrhosis form chronic hepatitis, which has ruled me out for bariatric surgery, and I also am on thyroxine for hypothyroid. I think it's the Lantus responsible for weight gain, as I have been eating less and getting exercise now I'm not getting hypos every day. My PCT is going to take away my byetta if I don't lose weight (HELP!) and then i will just balloon I will gain tons of weight. Because of liver disease, low carb diet isn't appropriate. it would poison my liver. Right now I am semi vegetarian--I eat fish and seafood as well as eggs and some dairy. I don't know which way to turn and I am so upset. Any doctors here with advice? [/QUOTE]
