I have not been here in awhile
I was just put on insulin at bed time
The Endo the meds and I could not get my am fasting below 200
so now i am on Byetta and insulin trying to get the am sugars under control
I am taking Levemir at bedtime
the Endo started me at 8 and I up it every 3 days by 2
it is helping a little I am now about 170 in the moring on 10 and he wants me to be at 120 I just wonder how long this will take?
I am using the pen so the needles for the Byetta and the Insulin are the same
My question is how much of this am I going to have to take to get to 120 and am I going to get fatter than I already am?

I just wanted to say I was having the same problem with fbgs in the 200's but when I was put on Victoza, went off Byetta, I have been having much better fbgs. This am I was 120. I'm still taking insulin, NPH, am and pm, but I hope to start reducing how much I take soon. Just an FYI.
I took Levemir for awhile and I didn't gain any weight from it but I really had to work hard to not to. I only took it for a few months as I had an adverse reaction, achey joints, from Levemir.
You might want to talk to your dr about trying Victoza and going off of Byetta all together.
