I have been diabetic type 2 for 22 years

I was on Byetta 10mcg bd,metformin 1GM bd.,gliclazide160mg od with fairly good control.HBA1C =7.5
Two weeks ago my consultant stopped the Byetta and put me on Sitagliptine 100mg bd instead

Since my blood sugar is very unstable,I crave and eat carbohydrates all the times and I am putting one pound on weight an a daily basis.
I am not seeing my consultant for another 3 months

Has anyone had that experience.?
I phone the diabetic nurse and she said:persevere
Should I ask to go back on Byetta?
