[QUOTE="megan, post: 246537, member: 6160"] hi guys, thanks for the responses. about 6 months ago my diabetes dr questioned the type of diabetes i have. i was diagnosed age 16 years. the dr then said that i could only have a test to find out the type of diabetes for sure within the first two years of diagnosis. so i got put on byetta for a 3 month trial. it made me feel very sick for the whole time and i got the point where i could hardly eat anything. in the 3 months i love 10lb. i didn't see this as anything significant because hardly eating i would have expected more weight to have come off. so this was an exceptionally low carb diet. i was also in no fit state to do very much. a few years back i was on metformin for some time and that didn't do much. so now on the gliclazide. my meal doses have gone from 2 units of novo per 10g carb, to 1.5 units with breakfast gliclazide and 1 unit per 10 g for dinner gliclazide. so result so far. whilst i appreciate the usual angle of low carb and increase exercise, it has never worked for me,. believe me i have tried. i managed exercise successfully the other day, without my sugars shooting up!...but that was one day. i did have to take lucozade part of the way throught to stay safe and i still got a low straight after. emotions effect it very much. i can feel slight excitement or anxiety and it shoots up the sugars. i can talk to someone on the phone and it shoots up the sugars. its random and tiring. but i keep going. the diabetes won't stop me, but i would love to have some resemblence of control over it!
