When I started the 5ug pen I started to lose weight and then seemed to stick.....a plateau. I was then upped to the 10ug pen and within a week I started a steady wieght loss which dropped 5 ½ stone. During that time my carfb intake at both main meals didn't go above 25-30g, the midday snack was usually around 15g carbs, a dialy total of around 75g.Some days it was a little less, sometimes a little more.  Now I can manage more carbs because my Insulin resistance has reduced........so much so that I have had to reduce my Byetta back down to a 5ug pen and only take 2 Metformin in the morning. That seems to be working very well for me.So, stick with it. Don't expect too much too soon and keep motivated. Lose that and it doesn't matter what you do....you will fail. Keep doing what you are and just tweak things a little, maybe a little less carbs at those mealtimes. It does work for most people.....you only have to read back through this thread to see that.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Ken</blockquote>
