[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 77571, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Candy, The only thing I can add to Ken's advice is to have as small a gap as possible between your injection and your meal. Although you can eat up to an hour after injecting, in the early days it is better to inject immediately before you eat, at least until you have become acclimatised to Byetta. Once the nausea side effects have worn off (usually one or two weeks) then you can extend that gap. The other thing is to make sure that you take the metformin in the middle of the meal so that they are digested with the food. The metformin also has side effects and these can help trigger nausea from the Byetta. An alternative to a ginger biscuit is to have a glass of [b][u]extremely diluted[/u][/b] ginger cordial (e.g. BottleGreen's ginger and lemongrass cordial). [/QUOTE]
