Diabetes & Byetta

Hi My name is Sylett and I ahv eben usig Byetta for 6 days now and I
couldnt be happier. I have pre-diabetes and IR and am on Metfromin
1000 mg at bedtime as well as 5 mg byetta . So far( I dont want to
jinx myself so fingers crossed) I’ve had no side effects from the
monster spit and my numbers are Fan-freaking -tastic! I was running
FBg’s of 118 just a week ago and since I have been on BYetta I ahve
been btwn 89-95 FBG and PP numbers in the 80’s consistantly. I’ve lost
weight, about 4# which I think was water from the Actos I
discontinued, but the most suprising thing for me is that I am now
throwing ketones for the first time since I began low carbiing 4
years ago. I have never been able to drop weight even with vigerous
exercise and diet modification. I began to lo carb and tho I didnt
drop any weight I felt better and it helped my depression. But when I
tested with ketostix I never turned them anything at all even when
eating 10g carb a day for a week. But now with Byetta and a Bernstein

style 30g a day I’m throwing moderate ketones and with the increase in
activity and decrease in food imput i’m hoping to see some weight
loss. But even if I dont see anything in the weight dept change, the
imprvement in my BG’s is making me do the happy dance!
