[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 26365, member: 1338"] Colin, Your blood sugar levels are extremely high. If they are still that high despite the enormous quantities of insulin that you are taking then you must be eating astronomic quantities of carbohydrates. You need to cut right down on (or ideally cut out altogether for a week) all bread, cereals, pasta, rice and potatoes. Make up for it by having larger portions of proteins and vegetables with each meal. This will give you all the carbs (plus vitamins and minerals) that you need to remain healthy. Try it for a week and you will see your blood sugars very quickly drop to more manageable levels. But keep testing constantly because if you reduce your carb intake, then you also need to drop your insulin intake in line, otherwise you will just hypo. Incidentally Byetta does lots of good things, but it does absolutely nothing to help insulin resistance. But, as said above, your BS levels look more indicative of carbohydrate overload than insulin resistance. [/QUOTE]
