[QUOTE="Sparklythings, post: 126287, member: 25680"] Good Afternoon Well, what a wonderful forum and fabulous thread! I met with the Diabetic Nurse on Tuesday, my fantastic GP having suggested Byetta a week or so ago. I collected everything today and intend to start with my first injection on Sunday evening. I am really keen to make this work - I need to lose weight and gain better control. My original GP was incredibly unhelpful when I was first diagnosed, and it is only since changing to a new GP that I have got anything like a vague grip on things. It was only on Tuesday ( and the fourth time of asking) that I was given a testing kit and prescription for the strips and lancets. To that end, I have no real concept of my blood sugar control to date - but from the way I feel I am guessing it's not great. I have been on metformin, rosiglitazone and simvastatin. Now dropped the rosiglitazone to start with the byetta. I've been told to test 6 times a day to start with, and to call the nurse on Thursday to report in on how things are going. I intend to test tomorrow too, so I can see the changes hopefully? And finally, I have read all 105 pages since Tuesday - any chance of a gold star?? :wink: :D Julia x [b]Hi Julia. Welcome to the Forum........Since Tuesday....you a speed reader !!! Well done. True to my word..........one Gold Star as requested. Hope everything works out on the Byetta. cugila. (Ken)[/b] [/QUOTE]
