Just started Byetta 5mcg tonight - Keeping fingers crossed!

I just began my Byetta at 12:20 a.m. tonight! I was so peachy proud of myself, as I am needle phobic and did not think I would be able to do it!

My diabetes sojourn... part one

I was originally diagnosed with type 2 (maturity onset) diabetes 16 years ago. It was the beginning of what was supposed to be a very healthy pregnancy, and suddenly I was being admitted to the hospital to learn to use insulin (the only safe thing during pregnancy).
