I have been on Byetta (stomach injections)for about 8 months. The first 6 months was the lowest dosage and now it is doubled (the highest dosage). There is no rhyme or reason concerning the A1C levels - currently 7.6%! and I have not lost any weight either - which is suppose to be a side affect (one I was looking forward to). My blood work is good for my heart disease, but not for the diabetes. I teach exercise classes but also have fibromyalgia and ostioarthritis, so exercising more would really be a chore; I've cut back on portions and have introduced more fruit and vegetables in my diet. I know if I lost at least 25lbs, I would feel better and hopefully get my A1C down. HELP - What else can I do to loose weight?
