My doctor just put me on levemir along with the byetta. I am not sure what
the levemir is suppose to do.

For those of you that have been on Byetta awhile, have you found certain foods
you just can’t tolerate anymore. Or maybe you couldn’t tolerate them but have
returned to them now without stomach upset? What about strange cravings?
I’ve been on Byetta 5 mg for 4 weeks now. My nausea has lessened quite a bit
although I still get a very sour stomach and some accompanying heartburn from

assuming
that it’s a no-no.
Does anyone know, for sure, what the feds’ policy is on

I have been eating realy crazy the last few months and I am
hopeing Byetta will help that some. My morning bg typicaly
starts at 150 then rises to 170 before breakfast. Then after
having 1/2 gallon of ice cream for breakfast it`s in the high 200`s
till dinner time. This has been my patern 4 or 5 days a week
for the past 4 months or so. I just got my A1c results back
it was 6.8 I know this is not good but shouldn`t it have been
a lot lot worse ?

Problem is taking it the hour before.

And when I do eat if it’s not a full meal.
I’ll drop down to 60 to 66.
I’m also on 850 mg meterforman and 4mg Avandia
I was on Advenment BUT was hard to get that script.
I do have some bad bruising at times .
