[QUOTE="cugila, post: 107292, member: 15325"] Hi smudger. What Dennis said is a fact, so called 'healthy' diets are not always the best. I lost over 4 stone just with Byetta and by changing my diet and drastically reducing the Carbohydrates. Calories are not the issue here. The more carbs you eat the more glucose you put into your body. The more glucose you have in your body then the more Insulin your pancreas has to produce to deal with this. The Gliclazide will force your pancreas to produce more Insulin which will if in excess convert to fat, thereby causing you to gain weight or at least not lose it. It is usual when on Byetta that the doses of Gliclazide in particular (causes weight gain) and also Metformin are reduced allowing the Byetta to perform better. Byetta on it's own will only do what it can and perform well if you help it. A reduction in carbohydrates is a must if you are serious about losing weight and getting those Bg numbers down. We have had a few who Byetta doesn't work for, but not many at all. The Byetta thread is in one place as it is a one stop shop as most, if not all the questions have been answered there. If you go to the post and then enter a search word in the thread it will list ALL the relevant (and some not so relevant posts) including the ones from people who didn't get any benefit from it for whatever reasons. You don't have to 'trawl' through all of it if you don't want. Think of it as a good reference book. We quite often refer people on here back to a previous answer. Saves us a lot of trouble too. :D Can you give us some idea of a typical daily menu with some detail, we may be able to make some suggestions to help you. [/QUOTE]
