*That is a good observation. I broke my *golden* rule several times this
month - always having protein being the first thing in my mouth whenever I
eat and to never eat carbs alone - even if they are complex. I will be back
on track tomorrow and we’ll see if that might be causing the problem.*
**
*The other thing I was thinking - Byetta is doing its job - my numbers are
low to mid-90’s almost all the time now - so maybe there is some property of
the drug that keeps it from giving us that bonus when we are so well
regulated? I don’t know - just thinking out loud.*

*But, regardless of the reason - that is why all of us must be careful not
to ‘outeat’ the Byetta benefits….. as in, eat what we want because Byetta
‘protects’ us by keeping our BG acceptable. Then if Byetta does not work as
well some time, you have no good habits to fall back on. Even though this
month I did not lose any weight, I worked hard at keeping my good habits -
or I would have gained weight.*

Has anyone noticed any inconsistancy in their Byetta? I have to order mine and
so I get 3 months supply at a time. When I started the last 3 months I thought
it must have stopped working for me. Not much full feeling, no upset tummy and
started wanting to eat everything in sight again. My numbers stayed pretty good
though so I just figured it must have stopped working for me as far as helping
with the food.

Now I’ve started the new 3 months supply and what a difference. Am full

immediately, started belching all the time again and have more energy back. Am
wondering if my last order could have gotten too cold during shipping or if it
just wasn’t a "good" batch.

My Byetta has not been quite the *magic* this month that it had been the
previous three. I’ve had more problems dealing with hunger - however, like
you, my BG has been fine. So…. that would probably mean there is nothing
wrong with the medication itself. It is doing exactly what it was designed
to do - help keep our BG at a steady number. The rest of it is kind of like
a bonus - some people never get the bonus, some people get it all the time,

and some of us get it sometimes. I really think for some of us our body
needs periods of readjustment and ’settling’ and then, hopefully, the bonus
will start back again.

I was discouraged when I had my weigh-in at Curves this morning - my weight
stayed exactly the same as it was a month ago - but, I did lose 1/2" in my
waistline and 1/2" in my abdomen. I also know I didn’t get quite as much
exercise as usual - 3 days a week instead of 4; and there were times when I
was not as stringent with my eating plan as I have been. So, perhaps there
is a chance the Byetta does not benefit me as well when I am not quite as
cautious.

The reason I don’t think it is a bad pen is because I have two pens - one at
work and one at home and it is the same thing with both.
