saying hi
hi all…
i have been here for a bit but i have not said much of anything.. i am the
quiet type..
i have had low blood sugar for 16 years.. then this past march 17th, i went to
the hospital for what i thought was a bladder infection.. turned out i was
diabetic .. my sugar was 599… i spent a week in the hospital..
have been on metformin, amaryl, lantus, and now byetta..
my diabetes nurse has discontinued the amaryl.. so now i just take 4 metformin
at night,lantus at bedtime and byetta before lunch and supper.. i am not much of
breakfast eater there for the lunch and supper byetta.. since i work mostly days
at a fast paced resturant, i usually have 6 hours from lunch to dinner…
i have not had much of the side effects of byetta, especially with the 5
mcg… now with the 10.. that is another story.. i am not naueseated..(sp??)but
for the past week , every morning at 430.. i get up with the worst case of
diarrhea, then by 5 am , my sugar gets real low.. this morning was down to 65..
( i know that is not low to some.. but my a1c was 380 .. so 65 is kinda
weird…)
now does this make sense to anyone else???i have tired to start eating a snack
at around bedtime of protein.. but so far .. not workin…
should i call my nurse and ask to go back on the 5 mcg??
i have lost 10 pounds since goin on the byetta.. mainly coz i have had major
hip problems and walkin anywhere but work hurts so much …
thanks for any imput..
Ramona…
p.s. just to let you know .. even though i dont know any of you .. i pray
everymorning for you all .. i know now that it is a blessing to just wake up
each morning….
