I started on the 5mcg, then moved to the 10 after two weeks. I was on 60 units of Lantus and Humalog combined before byetta. I then used humalog as needed for when I hypercarbed. I've now gone down to the 5mcg because I was experiencing hypos on it, without using insulin. I've lost 43 lbs so far, and am a standstill for a few months. I had higher fasting numbers than what I wanted. So I added 3 units of Lantus in the evening and my numbers went from 110 to in the 90s. I still make insulin, but was very insulin resistant before byetta. I felt I needed a boost in the evening to cover the morning fasting numbers. Everyone is different, but don't rule out insulin, especially if it's a small amount. I'm not gaining weight on the 3 units I'm <!--more--> taking. I was gaining on the 60, though. Hope this helps.
