6 Month Mark

So I'm almost at my 6 month mark of taking Byetta.  I've lost 40 pounds, but my bg's are climbing since coming off the Avandia, A1c was at 8.4, and my tri-g's were up to 150.  The dr. is thinking my body still needs to adjust to the meds change, and said that next visit (mid-August) if they were still up, she would probably put me back on the Avandia.  That was in April.  My sugars kept going up, so I put myself back on the Avandia this past week.  My bg has dropped to the high 100's (I was averaging in the 2's!) and I'm starting to feel better.  I've pretty much gotten over the nasty side effects of Byetta (I didn't have them as bad as some people I've read about), just ocassionally I'll have an upset stomach.  I have found that I get the "I'm full" effect quicker if I take it 15 -20 minutes before I eat, rather than eating right after I take my Byetta.  August should be interesting.
