[QUOTE="cugila, post: 147374, member: 15325"] Ah.....that must be Diamicron then. Not really unless you have been told to by the DSN/GP to do that. I posted elsewhere about the detrimental effects of splitting tabs. You can never be sure that you get the right dose and particularly SR/MR types of tabs the active ingredients will degrade and may give unintended side effects. You could try alternating them each day or maybe cut it out for one or two day's and see what happens to your Bg levels. If they are too high then go back to taking them as before and discuss after your holiday. As for the carbs....yes Byetta needs something to get it's teeth into so to speak. I used to have about 25-30g per main meals (2) now it is more like 20-25g. I can have a very filling meal without too much hassle and the post meal levels are usually around 6's now. Suits me fine. Be careful with the fruit, berries etc. Some people seem to ignore the total carbs of these and have masses of them because they are 'healthy'. That may be true.....but the carbs do stack up ! Moderation as we say....... :wink: Ken Ken [/QUOTE]
