Hi Been on Byetta now for 4 months and still doing quite well except that I seem to get more hungry at lunch times now and am eating slightly more. I was wondering whether it might be better to have my injections before lunch and my evening meal now instead, though it will mean I won't be able...

I use a foot file and the podiatrist I saw said I was ok to use that if I keep up with it and I am also prescribed a foot cream from the doctor that helps keep the skin soft. (sorry can't remember the name of it, am not at home at the moment to check it) Using the foot file softly and often on...

Hi all Not been on for a couple of weeks, I was waiting to have my checkup. Anyway, I am on my third pen and all my results were good today, overall blood sugars 6.1, cholestoral 3.7, liver, kidney and blood pressure ok. They were really pleased with me. They were offering me gold starts...

Hi I have quite a large air bubble in my pen which has about 4 days left in it. Does anybody have any suggestions how to get rid of it or should I discard of it. Just not sure what to do. Many thanks.

Hi all Getting near the end of my 2nd pen now and am still doing really well. Definitely don't eat as much as I once did and I don't think about food all the time, which I also did. Temptation will be around over the next week but I know if I do have anything it will not be a big amount...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi Cavanagh1 So good to hear somebody has the same symptoms as me. It seems a little better today so hopefully maybe nearly over the worst. I am definitely not going to give up on this, I have waited far too long to lose weight, its all I want, as well as my BS coming...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Thanks Cugila I have cut my portions down an awful lot and maybe last night was too spicy - I made spagetti and only had about 6 spoonfuls. Will now drop to an even smaller plate. Tonight have just had some fish with baked beans. Feel well satisfied. I will...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya On my fifth day of the 10 pen and I do keep having a bit of an upset tummy. Don't know if this is related but I seemed fine on the 5. As in upset tummy I mean having diarrhea. I am eating small amounts and feel very full after eating especially with the evening...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya Well, just getting to the end of my second day on Byetta 10. I am feeling a little sicky but more tired than anything. I have just got out of bed from an afternoon rest. Its a good job I only work part time or I would have been asleep at my desk! Did changing...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya Picked up my second pen today, so will be starting on 10 tomorrow. Just a quick question, when you take your pen out of the fridge, can you use it straightaway or do I have to wait a while, can't remember what I did with my first one. Thanks.

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya Just an update on my fist month on Byetta. Went for check up today and my blood pressure is down and I have lost 10lb in weight. I am so happy. I am starting the higher dose of 10 on Thursday as I have been well on the 5 with no real sickness at all, just a...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? ha ha Will try and avoid them then or drop down to one. They will soon disappear anyway cos one of the lads is a real chocoholic and I keep telling him to take them upstairs. I have never seen him come down so much and he has one or two each time he comes to check a...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya I have just finished my third week and all is well. My following up appointment is next Tuesday and looking forward to seeing results (hope they are worthwhile!). I can tell I have lost a few pounds but am waiting to see what their scales say. Blood sugars still a...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hiya Soz to hear you haven't been too good. I have been on Byetta now for two weeks and have felt slight sickness but quite well. My readings have been a bit up and down between 10 and 5 but they never came down to 5 before taking Byetta so am quite pleased to see...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Thanks Cugila It is definitely a one off and only one small glass of Baileys, not the bottlle, though can't speak for my friend, but she is healthy! This site is so helpful! Thanks

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi I have a quick question - I have a friend who is in need of a shoulder coming round tomorrow and wondered if a glass of Baileys and a little treat would do any harm and whether it would affect the Byetta. Would appreciate any any advice. Thanks.

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi Heather I felt just the same as you did a week ago and I worried for absolutely nothing. I just felt a little spaced out the first morning and have been fine since. Not eating as much as before and I am really pleased about that. Good luck and I am sure you will...

Hi Shari I was diagnosed 17 years ago, I knew from my thirst and going to the loo that I had diabetes but it was still a shock when the doctor told me. The nurse that was checking my blood said I had that 'sweet look', I thought she was being cute but she meant sugar sweet, ha ha. I just wish...

Hi Wow, sounds like you two have got yourselves together. I don't have a problem playing with my grandson, just on the floor, as he does love being read to and we both dance to music. He is only just 2 so there is lots I can do with him at the moment. You know what, I am going to buy some...
