[QUOTE="DriverRob, post: 271251, member: 44084"] I started on Byetta 2nd week in February having been referred to the diabetic consultant at the hospital as my GP could no longer prescribe any more medication as I was then on 5 Metformin, 4 Gliclazide, 1 Januvia and 1 simvastatin tablets and my Hba1c was then 11.5. After a couple of weeks on Byetta I started to finally get control of my blood sugar levels with the help of these forums by cutting down on my carbs. I have now reduced my gliclazide down to 2 a day ( the Byetta has obviously replaced the Januvia) but have kept the Metformin the same. I had another Hba1c 5 weeks after being on Byetta and I got my Hba1c down to 9.2 so when I have my next one in 4 weeks I will have brought it down to below 8 at least. I suffered in the early days with nausea but changed to injecting almost immediately before my meals and now hardly ever get the nausea. All in all i'm very happy so far but have realised it isn't a wonder drug as I still have to be very careful with what I eat otherwise my levels do still go out the window. [/QUOTE]
