It was the januvia I thought you were talking about. The prandin does nothing
for hunger or weight loss - it is just an old drug that is an insulin secreter.
I seem to remember than John Dodson also uses it now and again. I have a friend
who has to take high doses of steriods to treat a major flare up of Lymes and
she uses prandin before breakfast and lunch. Apparently it can be very powerful
as she has had severe hypos with it twice - either that or she is taking a whole
lot to overcome the BG spiking effects of the steriods.

Good luck finding an oral med you can use!

Cheers!

It is now under consideration that most persons with diabetes need supplements
of Vit D. It seems not only is vit D helpful in avoiding many kinds of cancers
it is also particularly valuable for those on Byetta. It has the ability to help
in the stimulation of cells in the pancreas. Something like 50,000 units twice a
month is what I am taking. My MD wants me to take even more. It is more
valuable in the darker months than in the summer months? Have you had your Vit D
levels tested. It might be a helpful point to talk over with your MD. There are
numerous reports to back up this information.

Prandin is a powerful drug that really lowers BG right now. I have used it when
I am over 200 on occasion. It is very possible on Byetta to put you into a lower
BG that would require treatment. I use it with caution but when I need it it
does work with a precision and accuracy that is astonishing. It is probably not
a drug to use as a stand alone. It puts a lot of pressure on your pancreas.

Only one person took me up on the earlier offer to send information on getting
ready for the Asian Flu. This is a complete report suggesting medications to
have on hand. I will be glad to send it if you send me your e-mail address. I
can’t post it on the blog. I can forward it to you. This will be the last time I
bother anyone on the blog.

Thanks to all who posted regarding their 10 mcg pen.

Today I very carefully made sure that I turned the wheel precisely and even
pushed twice on the injection button, plus held it in a long count of 20 before
removing it.

This afternoon that second push on it caused it to move down slightly further.
And who knows, maybe there was a click? At any rate, I have not had more than
an exceptionally tiny droplet of spit on the needle tip.

I can tell I’ve gotten the full dose because my BG has dropped from the 130’s to
the 90’s (yea!) and food has no appeal. I’m not nauseated, I’m just totally
uninterested in food and I feel stuffed. That kicked in again after the PM
dose.

I’m celebrating not getting caught up in the carby eating that goes along with
Easter. I didn’t accept one smidge of candy from the grandkid’s Easter baskets
(despite kind and loving offers of sharesies).

Life is, as the 4 year old says, "gooder" than it has been in awhile.
Cheers!

available. it that the pill you were talking about?
