I went to see Helena at Dr. Liljenquists office today

about the Byetta shot. I am doing good on it and she wants me to go up to the higher dose now of 10 micrograms. I have been on 5 micrograms since starting it in the hospital. I will probably experience some of the same symptoms going up as I did when I started it--nausea is the biggest part of it--but they go away within the first couple of days. I am still on all of the other meds and might just have to start some insulin also if I can't get my blood sugar to stay down where it needs to be.
