I have now been on the byetta for nearly 3 months.
my insulin doses have gone down...but are rising a little now.
i have been so very very tired. dr now says i have chronic fatigue and am on a waiting list for CBT.
my last check with the diabetes dr and nurse had them doing the usual
when did you last see the dietician?
how do you count your carbs?
are you sure you're not over eating or eating something you shouldn't be?!!!
arrgghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been through this sooooo many times....so I found my voice and held my head up and managed to speak up for myself.
I told them i saw the dietician a few months ago on their instruction, and went throught that whole process AGAIN!
I said that i am confident in counting my carbs, and that i do not over eat and i do not eat what i am not meant to......
they said that i have too much glargine in comparison to the novo rapid and with the doses i had listed i couldn't have been counting the carbs right
2 novo for a meal.....meant the meal was 20g carb and i took 1 unit of novo per 10g carb....
they then wanted to know how i calculated this! what mediums did i use basically
they have gone on at me for years and years for taking too much insulin. finally with the help of byetta i manage to get the insulin level down and with their guidance tried out 24 to 40 units of glargine over a period of months this summer.
so it was settled. and now they say its not balanced.....about 32 glargine to 14 - 20 novo in a day.
that may well be the case, but i have done all the working s of this under their guidance. the dr then told me to take 2units for 10g carb for each meal. i asked why so much as he's always told me not too take 2 units for 10 gr and that was just for big big men. he told me they were learning all the time.....well finally, a not so arrogant attitude.
but it still doesn't help me.
i have about 9 days left on the byetta when my trial on it is up.
i believe it is helping because it is helping my insulin work better......i am very resisitent to my insulin.
he told me that if i come off the byetta that the 8 lbs or so that i have lost will go straight back on.
gliclazide is an alternative.....if this were to do its job then why would i put the weight back on.
is byetta safe for me as a type 1?
