HEALTH INTERESTS:

Type 2 diabetes,  diet

DRUGS I AM TAKING:

byetta,  glyburide,  actos,  diovan,  synthroid,  paxil,  lipitor

ABOUT ME:

I am 57 and have a history of medical problems.  I have had Hodgkins Disease twice and now I have struggled with diabetes for 15 years.  I started taking Byetta along with my other meds in Oct.   I have lost about 20 lbs but have struggled with the Byetta.  I can't handle the 10 mcg at all so I take 5mcg in am and 5mcg at dinner. My problem is the dinner dose.  It gives me extreme lows 1 hour after I take it no matter what I eat or drink.  I have tried many variations of food intake but I always fall(48,72,86)  Can I take just the am dose and skip the evening?  Is there a protocal for this?  Please help?
