[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 94823, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi shazscot and welcome to you. I have to say that if you are taking Byetta and still have BS levels of 15 then it sounds like your diet needs a thorough overhaul. There's only two things that can cause high blood sugars: - too much carbohydrate in your diet creating an over-supply of glucose, or - too little carbohydrate causing your liver to manufacture glucose to counteract the shortage. The usual culprit is too much carb - generally as a result of following the terrible medical advice we are all given of "make sure you eat plenty of starchy carbs with every meal" - the worst possible advice that can be given to a diabetic. As far as the headaches are concerned, these could simply be the result of your hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) - I know I would have have an awful head and just want to lie down if I had BS of 15. If you can give us an idea of the type of things you would eat on a typical day then maybe we can come up with something that will reduce your BS levels and stop those headaches. [/QUOTE]
