i take 10 mcg fromt he 5 mcg pen by leaving it my stomach when the first dose is
done and re dialing the pen for the second dose
Does anyone do 10 mcg in the morning and 5 for dinner? How would you do
that? A double dose in the morning?
No nausea yet, how long does it take for the nausea to start?
Finally, does you all take your other meds at the same time as the spit…or
do you swagger them. I thgought by taking the oral meds at bedtime might
work on my morning #s.
Yes, I feel tired and food does not seem appealling to me.
Thanx, again.

you might want to take your FBS for awhile and see if they’re
consistently high. if they are you might have dawn syndrome, where the
liver dumps sugar in the middle of the night. i do. its a bitch
actually.
i’ve tried everything. eating before i go to bed, differeing what i
eat, not eating, taking meds right before i go to sleep etc. haha. oh
weelll they’re getting better anyway. this morning i was at 150 FBS.
yeah!!!! i had a mix of plain yoghurt and cottage cheese (bit more
cottage cheese than yoghurt). it was about a cup total. checked 2 hours
later… i was 230. i’m like HUH! :::: sigh::: so things are better but
not perfect yet.
i’m sure thats about the same with most people. we still have to do
what we have to do and are still diabetic and need to take care of
ourselves and watch what we eat.
good luck to everyone. and thank you for this wonderful group

Hi, Pam. I’m currently on the 10 pen AM, and 5 pen PM. my doc wanted me
to do this for 2 weeks, and then see how my blood sugars are. I was on
the 5 pen 2X daily for 30 days prior to this. My insurance filled both
pens this month, but for a 60 day supply. The pharmacist said that next
month my doc can change the script to read 2 x daily or as needed, and
my insurance will cover the new pen or pens, depending on if I stay on
this dosage, or just go strictly to the 10 pen. I sure hope he’s right!
All my other meds I split up between early AM (about 45 minutes prior to
taking my Byetta), and bedtime. So far it’s been working very well.
Slight occasional twinge of nausea, goes away in a few minutes no matter
what I do or don’t do.

Aha….someone else who knows about Dawn’s Revenge (that’s what I was told
it was called).
Since I was dxd 14 years ago, my FBS #s have been the highest of the day.
My first endo said I
might have DR..no way to prove it. My fasting #s at drs office are
ridicious. I am going to start taking my meds at 11:30 pm (before
letterman) so when I take my FBS it will be 8-9 hours later. Like you I am
sure it won’t make a difference. Even when I was pregnant and took a long
acting insulin before bed, I still woke up with the highest of the day. I
just don’t get it.

I woke up really early one morning and just for the heck of it took my blood
sugar. It was fine - not too low, probably about 115. Since I couldn’t get
back to sleep, I checked every hour for a couple of hours, watching the BG
rise….
My morning fastings run in the 140-150’s (the other morning it was 160)
Partly due to the HCTZ and metoprolol I’m on but even before I went on them,
my fastings were running in the low-mid 130’s.
Why would sleeping better and cooler room make a difference? Doesn’t seem
to matter what time of year it is for me…
Sherry
Short version — In many people, the liver senses how low your blood sugar
is getting as you sleep, so the liver starts kicking out sugar into the
blood. Hence — high blood sugar before breakfast. My morning BS-240 was
greatly reduced by Glucophags XR, and finally pretty much killed by Byetta.
The strange thing was, before Byetta, my dawn phenomenon morning BS was
worse in summer than in winter.
Probably something about the fact I sleep better in cold weather with my
April 24th, 2003 at 10:02 pm
Toward morning, your body goes into action to prepare you for waking up
and becoming more active. Hormones are released that signal the liver to
put glucagon into the blood, where it turns into glucose. In the normal
body, the pancreas is alert to this release and sends out insulin to
bring the glucose into the cells. You wake up and you are primed for the
day with ready energy in your cells.
But if you are a diabetic, your pancreas is not capable of producing
enough insulin to send the glucose into your cells. In some people,
there may be enough function left to do this in part, but you will still
have higher numbers when you wake up than a non-diabetic.
Fasting numbers for non-ds frequently range between 65 and 75. Recently
I read that a fasting number over 91 should be a signal to doctors to
teach their patients about avoiding diabetes with life-style changes,
even tho the "official" impaired glucose range begins, now, at 100, used
to be 110.
Byetta is not geared to handle dawn phenomenon; however, as your overall
numbers lower, that number should lower too. If your dawn rise, which
can happen after you get up too, is, say, 50 points; there will be
considerable difference going to bed at 90, and waking up at 140, than
going to bed at 140 and waking up at 190.
As for a difference because of the time of year - broken or disturbed
sleep can increase cortisol levels, which in turn lead to higher bgs. If
you can tolerate it, some anti-depressants can reduce cortisol, and a
bedtime dose might lead to a lower morning number.

How much is the pen costing people? just curious thats all. BS/BC
Federal employee program it was $37 and the tips were $7 for 60 (or was
that 45). the mail in SAYS i can order thru them, (but arnt they
refrigerated?) and it will be $35 for 3 months for the pen and the same
for the pentops.

Not always in T2 - we may have plenty of insulin but it’s the body’s
resistance to insulin which affects the blood sugar levels.
Sherry
<snip>
But if you are a diabetic, your pancreas is not capable of producing enough
insulin to send the glucose into your cells. In some people, there may be
enough function left to do this in part, but you will still have higher
numbers when you wake up than a non-diabetic.<snip>
April 25th, 2003 at 11:50 pm
Sherry, in a T2 with high insulin resistance, the pancreas tries to make
tons of insulin to overcome the resistance and finally gets to the point
where it cannot make enough insulin to be effective. True if the
receptors were able to receive the insulin, less would be required and
enough could be/would be produced.
It has been discovered that there are people with IR who make a
tremendous amount of insulin, and it does keep their numbers down. It is
theorized that these people do not have the genes for diabetes.

I get mine through the mail and it comes fed-ex in a styrafoam cooler with ice
packs. As soon as i get it i put them in the fridge. As for cost it was $50

year as have new insurance.

hrs after. Sometimes at bedtime if I forget to take then around dinner.

Pen needles are about 25-30 cents each, more or less, in boxes of 100.
I would hope that if your doc writes a presription for needles,
Medicaid would cover them. Check that out.
If your pharmacy just stores Byetta on the shelf–take it back, get a
refund and your original prescription back, and find a new pharmacy!
(unless the 1-800 # tells you otherwise, and ships you a free pen with
a cold pack — we can hope, can’t we?)! Pharmacies have fridges to
keep various meds cold — not just Byetta. Oh, and did I say find a
new pharmacy…one who knows how to properly store medication? lol

About every 4th time or so, I am getting blood come up when I remove
the needle. Anyone else have that happen? Not a big deal, but I’d like
someone to say "oh, yeah, all the time" just so I’d feel better about
it. LOL

yeah, I hit an occasional gusher, too. and there are a few places
on my abdomen that the needle will sting when I try to insert it
so I just pull out and quickly move to another site before the
injection.

I don’t know but I am so delicate that not only do I sometimes get that
drop of blood but in a day or two I develop a really nasty bruise, one
actually measures 2 inches across, well, with twice daily injections I
am beginning to look polka dotted! I have noticed that just out of the
fridge Byetta is worse than if I let my pen warm up for about 10 minutes
before injecting. I live in south Texas, so there is lots of chance
that my house on any given day will be more than the 77 degrees, and
when traveling here, with the May 1st temps around 88, I will still have
to carry my pen in the cool pack, but warming up seems to help me.

Oh yeah! all the time! Lol…what happens is you hit a capillary or small
vein and so it bleeds. Sometimes, the blood just oozes under the skin and
makes a bruise. But it is normal, and is not harmful

Yes it still happens to me too. but yesterday was the most blood i had
ever had..i think i could have hit a vein or capillary. And sometimes i
even have meds on the injection site and the needle. so i hope its not
just me who’s still doing it wrong.

It happens to all of us. It comes from hitting a vein or capillary
according to my doctor! Bruising is not an often occurance for me but
it has happened a time or two.
