Good Luck!
For me it wasn't half as bad as i imagined. I had to put the needle in in the nurses office. The first injection on my own took a few minutes, after that i didn't think anything of it

Hi Bexie,
Well done. An upset stomach (but not usually associated with pain) can be a side effect of Byetta, but not very common. The known side effects are nausea (57.1% of patients), vomiting (17.4%) and diarrhea (8.5%). For most patients, the side effects are mild to moderate and disappear in a week to 10 days.

Kind of DDay for me tomorrow. Going to push for byetta with my diabetologist. Sent him a warning shot email last week. I don't fit the criteria however.
Unfortunately, my foot is playing up, infection seems to have flared up since stopping antibiotics 6 weeks ago. Also, the midfoot joint has subluxed (partly dislocated) and some of the bones on todays xray lok a bit more moth eaten. Need to get more weight off, and I think this will be the main thrust of the argument. Here's hoping.

Hija Bexie
I had a bit of a tummy ache on Friday but I always get this when I get stressed out about anything - I must have injected in the same site cause it hurt and I now have a very small bruise; not had anything since though.
I did something really stupid last night I went to the Gym (yuk - hate it) and on the way home my husband text to say my meal was on the table so I went straight in and ate - Forgot my Byetta until after the meal so have had to skip a dose. My B/S wasn't too bad this morning 6.5 which is still lower than pre Byetta.

Hi Jacq,
I've done that a few times too - mostly in the morning. I am not a morning person and don't really come round until the 2nd cup of coffee. On occasions I have wandered into the kitchen, got myself some breakfast on autopilot and only when I have finished realised I didn't have the injection. Missing an odd one does result in a bit of a rise in my BS, but nothing too drastic and its back to normal after the next shot.
