5 mg for one month
Hi,
New to the group. My name is Alice. I was diagnosed with gestational
diabetes 5/2000 after my son was born I was fine for a few months and then in
May 2001 I started back on glucophage…1500 mg. About a year ago I began
Advandia 4 mg. A month ago my Endo took me off Advandia and put me on Byetta 5
mg. I was to begin my 10 pen today but it is out of stock and wont be in until
around 2:00 this afternoon.
Was wondering should I wait till tomorrow and just miss this whole day or do
you think it will hurt to take my first 10mg tonight with dinner?
As for weightloss, I started out weighing 197 and this am I weighed 194.5…I
don’t think that’s much to talk about and I watched so carefully. I am hoping
with the 10 to see more of a change. It is one specific reason my Endo put me
on it. That and my BS levels have been so much better in the am. So
exciting.
Any help would help.
TIA

For the sake of keeping the calendar straight, I personally would wait till
morning, but I’m particular like that. LOL

If you want to start it, go ahead. I can’t see what difference it would make if
you start in the morning or in the evening. In fact, if you have any side
effects from your first dose, I would rather deal with them in the evening while
at home than during the day while out running errands or at work. If you have
the new pen, why wait?

Hi, Alice, and welcome to the group.
I started in the a.m., just in case I had nausea galore so my husband
could run to the store with my survival list. Never happened. <g> Plus,
it was easier for me to test after eating and throughout the day to see
how the spit worked.
But do what’s convenient for you!
