Do You Have Room for Another?
Hi to all of you! You may not realize it but I owe you all many, many
thanks already. I’ve been reading these messages for over 3 weeks,
when I started I so afraid and so intimidated by this medication, you
all have taught me so much and more importantly, I’ve learned that my
feelings and reactions are shared by many.
I am learning to cope with the side effects, each day is better than
the previous and like others, I am thrilled with the results so far!
I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and controlled it by diet, then diet
and oral meds (glucophage), I lost 50# and then decided that I was
fine. I had no health coverage for a year and was not able,
financlially, to keep up with the cost of testing supplies and
bloodwork and my BG soared. When I had bloodwork done last month my BG
was nearly 400. So Byetta came into my life, with its help and getting
my eatting habits corrected I’ve brought my morning fasting readings
to about 150 so far, not good but better than they were. I should be
moving to the 10 mg dose in a week or so. I’m afraid that the nausea
will return, but I’m ready for it. I go to classes next month and am
really looking forward to it.
