On Sunday my eldest son & fiance are taking us to Sunday Lunch at 1p.m. I always take my Byetta before breakfast and before evening meal I am wondering whether to leave my first dose until pre-lunch and take the other dose in evening as normal. If I do this what would be the best things to eat for breakfast - boiled egg ? - I normally have porridge but without the byetta I am wary.
All advice gratefully received & many thanks in anticipation. :) Jude
 
Jude.
Have a small, virtually carb free breakfast if you can, then just before your Lunchtime meal, inject the Byetta.

All you have to do then is make sure that AT LEAST 6 hours elapse before you inject again for your next main meal. This causes no problems, I have done this many times before.

Monitor your Bg level closely in the morning.

Hello Ken

Thanks Ken - I was going to pm you but then decided to go on the boards!! Anyway you have confirmed what I had thought of doing - I will probably have scrambled egg for my breakfast. Many thanks. We are really looking forward to this as it is the restaurant where we are going to have Stephen & Alisons wedding reception in August and we aare going to try it out - do hope it works out!! At least one son still values us!! :D Thanks again - do hope you are feeling okay. Jude
 
Hi Jude.

I hope you and your Family all have a great day.......forget the carbs for the day......enjoy yourself.
Well, in moderation I suppose. :lol:

As for me........stressed to hell ! I'll survive though......I have the good wishes of people like you and Viv to keep me going. That's what this place is all about.......support when we need it. :wink:

Hello Catherine

Not sure if you are asking me or ken! Anyway, I always have a snack at lunchtime and dinner in the evening but on Sunday for Mothers Day we will be having a full blown sunday lunch at 1pm so I was worried that my bg would go up too high - I have never tried this before but I am sure it will be ok. Actually in the early months of byetta when I was suffering very badly with nausea my diabetes nurse suggested that I took the byetta at lunchtime and evening but I never tried it. Jude
 
Thanks Ken - your support is always appreciated. Sorry you are so stressed - guess that doesnt help the bg?!! Hope you are getting some less stressful times. Jude x
