new to group and new to Byetta
Hi! my name is Patty, i’m a nurse in long-term care so wrapped up in
my patients that i didn’t see my own sign and symptoms of diabetes
until i ended up in the ER! i was diagnosed in Nov. started on humolog
70/30 30 units 2xs daily with metformin 850 3xs daily. i had dramatic
ups and downs..lot of days don’t have time to eat at work (the lows)
then made up for it at home (the ups). i spoke with my Dr. told her
about having trouble controlling my appetite and she suggested i start
Byetta. i was afraid of the stories of the nausea with byetta, but
then again i have never had the diarrhea with metformin..so i decided
to give it a try.
day 3 of byetta, and i have had only one nausea episode, and that was
after eating too much. i am already recognizing the signal to STOP
eating. so far so good. i am very excited to hear others stories and
experiences with byetta. love, peace and hugs, Patty
