[QUOTE="gppixelworks, post: 110916, member: 23536"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] I've started on Byetta 5mcg with the first injection being before dinner last night. With two injections done, I've felt fine so far. (Fingers crossed!) I had to "sell" the doctor on Byetta (he had no experience with it). He strongly discouraged going on Byetta and strongly recommended starting on insulin. The doctor used inaccurate and part-accurate information about Byetta attempting to get me to agree with his recommendation of insulin. I suspect others may run up against this sort of behaviour as well. So I've decided to put up a public profile of my home testing, HbA1c results and net carb for main meals. Hopefully this will give those interested in getting information that may be useful in getting on Byetta. Of course, this depends on how my body responds to Byetta. Here's the basics on myself starting Byetta: [list]BMI: 29.5[/list] [list]Metformin: 1,000mg 2x daily[/list] [list]Glibenclamide: 5mg 2x daily (this was 5mg 3x daily but [i]I[/i] decided to drop it back when starting Byetta; the doctor [i]never[/i] mentioned the possible hypos with this medication and Byetta.)[/list] [list]Byetta started the evening of 07 Dec 09 (the standard 5mcg)[/list] Past HbA1c's and home testing results are all online at the following URL so you may view the before and after results which will hopefully be positive.

Blog address moved to ' Sticky Thread ' at above link.)[/b] Will also update here as I go along. Hope this is of some assistance ... [/QUOTE]
