[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 10774, member: 1338"] Hi Michelle, I meant to say yesterday that I frequently inject just a minute or two before my meal is served and it doesn't cause a problem. Byetta signals the pancreas to start producing insulin within a few minutes of injecting, and the carbs that we eat usually take a minimum of 15 minutes to convert into blood sugar, so eating immediately before eating won't affect the way the medication works. Back on the topic of bruising, are your needles the very fine ones (31 gauge)? Becton Dickinson (BD Microfine) are the only manufacturer to produce a 31G needle suitable for an injector pen. All the others are 29G or 30G so a fraction thicker and more likely to bruise. [/QUOTE]
