I really only eat meat at dinner time. And that is usually chicken. Like i said i went to the dietian yesterday. And i told her that between 2;30-3:30 when i am at work i start to crave the bakery stuff. Then when i am off and home i dont. She told me it was a mind thing and that i should think of all that stuff as poision. We will see today since i have to work. We will see how it goes. I am thinking about doing that also with the carbs thinking its poision and see how that does too. Plus the only other thing that i cut down on was the diet soda during the week its one can a day except for when i am home on weekends maybe 2 cans. I also drink alot of water and i also drink Crystal Light Ice tea. Hi Debbie

If any other vegans have tips I'd appreciate it. It's been an interesting evening, I took the 10 mcg at about 7 PM, had dinner at about 7:50 PM (a bean burrito and some salad veggies) and just a bit ago at 8:30 my BG was 63. It was not high when I took the shot, only 96. The drop seems pretty precipitous; I think it's time to drop the Amaryl. Otherwise, so far the side effects have been minimal, some vague queasiness is really all I've had. I am having to really push hard on the plunger on this pen, this morning I thought I had done it but when I took the needle out of my skin it squirted the dose out. Weird. Since I was sure I hadn't gotten the dose I did it again and with much more pressure <!--more--> finally felt the click.

I know the dietian had me on a 1500 cal diet, 45 carbs at each meal plus 10 at snacks. I cut that back some. I try not to eat bread unless it is 7 grain or whole wheat. Hi Debbie

Just now I slipped into the clinic (I work downstairs) and weighed myself -- 8 pounds in 4 weeks. I was expecting (and hoping for) a bit more, but heck, I'll take it! As with the 5 mcg, just an hour or so of mild queasiness after the first two doses, since then no problem with side effects, although I think the pen misfired last night since it apparently had no effect on my blood sugars (or appetite, unfortunately).

Hi

Had my one month appointment with the dietian since i started byetta.
And my sugars are good according to her and i have Lost 17lbs. I am so
happy!

I started the 10 pen beginning of this week and it is doing a great job.

The dietian said keep up the good work and to make myself a jornual other
then just my food and sugar diaries. And to get a buddy to work with me
also.
