Hello Pat, ty for replying!
I have read in another forum about ppl becoming sick on Byetta. I doctor through the VA and I am not even sure if Byetta is available there. I would like to try it just to see if it would help me lose weight! I just recently began to look at diabetic websites and I am suprised to see ppl taking both oral and injectable meds for bg control. I never thought about that. I am monitoring a site where a recently diagnosed type 2 on metformin went to the dr. earlier today and asked to be switched to insulin. He was diagnosed about a month ago and has never seen a number lower than 180. He is seeing numbers in the 300's, which is what I have been seeing the past couple of weeks. As I said in my 1st post, I have been underprescribed and have only been taking metformin and I have been missing my glypizide for over a month now..but when I see my dr. next Wed. I am just gonna ask to be put on insulin. My new yr.s eve goal is to get a hold of my numbers..then worry about losing weight. I would like to lose 70 lbs total and would be happy just to lose half of that this year. Keep in touch and if I dont hear back from you, I will be posting next week on how my dr.'s appointment went. Nice chatting with u.
