Well, my new restricted carb approach and Byetta regimen seems to be allowing me to reclaim my life!

I'm coming up on 2 weeks on Byetta. The headaches stopped after 1 week (thank goodness - it was a set your clock, 30-minutes-after-the-shot pounding headache for 3 hours). About 2 days after I started the shots, I got way more serious about my diet (had been on and off weight watchers for a while, but was definitely eating too many carbs even when lower calorie). I am not striving for 25-35-35 carbs a day (I usually go over, but find that if I set the goals tighter, I maintain better control)

My worst fasting was day 1 of Byetta (240 - although I had even seen worse in the month proceeding). Yesterday morning I was 124. I am still working on seeing below a hundred in the morning, but I am proud of the results - what's more, I have been sick with a bad cold and bronchitis, so these latest numbers are while I am sick and I've been reaching for a tad more comfort food during those times.

I am a happy camper...
