Why not have a diet rootbeer with a shot of whipped cream and a tablespoon of ice cream or a scoop of low carb ice cream? Also it could have been what or how much you ate for dinner that did you in. One thing for sure, Byetta SURE takes the fun out of eating! Aloha, Marge Hello Pam, It’s my understanding that you wait at least an hour after

Why not have a diet rootbeer with a shot of whipped cream and a
tablespoon of ice cream or a scoop of low carb ice cream?

Also it could have been what or how much you ate for dinner that did you
in.

One thing for sure, Byetta SURE takes the fun out of eating!

I assume it would be a problem even if the snack was healthy. How long do you have to wait after an afternoon snack to have dinner or are afternoon snacks a thing of the past? I can only speak for myself but I have had a snack and then taken my Byetta and had my meal. I have also taken it after meals if it wasn't convenient to take it before, like if I wasn't at home and didn't have it with me. It works well for me. I have no side effects and my A1C is 5. 4 and fasting blood glucose is between 74 and 105. The doctor is very happy with all my test results, including cholesterol and triglycerides as well as A1C. For me, Byetta works great even if I don't follow the manufacturers directions exactly. Janet So I know better but, what happens when I forget and have a small snack. I
