....though my sugars are wildly erratic.  I am actually AFRAID to eat badly on this medication lest I get sick.  So, it has helped me eat a healthier diet.  It is difficult for me to adjust everything since my waking hours are anywhere from 7-10 p.m. until noonish the following day.  Everything is bassackwards for me.  I'm sitting here now waiting to go to bed, but I want to take my 2-hr postprandial blood glucose and that will be in about another 1.5 hours.  I work 7 nights a week from 11 p.m.-7 a.m.  So far, I've not had any nausea at all (still on 5 mcg) after four doses.  I have felt a little jittery right before I eat after injecting.  I usually try to wait 30 minutes before I eat, but sometimes I have to eat sooner if I'm too shaky.  This is a full-time job, huh?  I hope it gets easier to deal with all of this.  In addition, I am keeping detailed logs for my doctor, including fasting sugars, postprandial sugars, other sugars taken at random, when I take my Glucovance and when I inject my Byetta.  This in itself is time consuming.  At any rate, I am finally determined that I MUST do something to help myself, as I have a 13-year-old daughter who needs me.  My next huge steps are to stop smoking and start exercising.  I want to feel better.  I have suffered depression for many years and have found myself asking, "Where is the joy in life?" for years and years.  I hope to become that person I used to be oh so long ago.  It doesn't help that I'm also going through menopause and the hormonal fluctuations, night sweats, hot flashes, irritability, frustration, agitation and anxiety all play into everything.  Trust me, I have often thought that dying would be so much easier, but I cannot afford that attitude with my daughter.  I've never considered suicide at all...I would never do that...but I admit to sometimes feeling that if I just didn't wake up one day I'd be alright with that.  Anyway, sorry to ramble on and on....I'm going to keep on going.
