fasting blood glucose went down (YEA!)
I am still taking prednisone but the dose has been tapered down to 3 pills
today, 2 tomorrow, one the next day, and then I’m done with it. I checked my
fasting blood glucose this morning and it was 81! Wow, it’s not usually
ever that low even with Byetta and no prednisone! Then I ate a lunch rather
heavy in carbs. I tested my blood glucose 2 hours later and it was only 78! I
wish I could get that kind of results all the time! The first month or so
that I was on Byetta, I felt full most of the time and had little interest in
food. The first month I lost 8 pounds, making a total loss of 36 added to
what I’d already lost. But now the Byetta no longer gives me the feeling of
being full and I want to eat a lot more often and bigger portions–ugh! So, I
think I got some weight back (frown). I wish I could get back that feeling of
being full all the time. I know the Byetta is working because my blood
sugars are coming down. This weight battle is a real pain. Janet
