Hi Louise, It takes time to get it right, so stick in there gal. I had similar problems when the insulin I was using was discontinued this time last year. It took several weeks to get used to the new one, to which I am very sensitive. One useless medical person said I was probably not diabetic any more. When does type 1 recover???? I wish. There is still a lot of ignorance about diabetes in the medical profession too, sad to say. Lots of good wishes coming your way.

It is because I started on a medication called Byetta (for
diabetics). With this medication I give myself an injection
at dinner and than the hard part comes in trying to find a
"good" portion (amount) of food I can eat. If I eat to much;
I get sick, if I eat to little; I get sick. I have only been back on
this medication since Saturday and I am still trying to find the
proper amount of food I can, thus meaning I go to bed with
a killer headache and nausea.

My endocrinologist (Diabetes Dr) is HOPING that I will be
able to tolerate this medication at least until the beginning of
the year when it goes to a "weekly" dosage.

I went through all this hassle 5-1/2 years ago when not long
|after I became diabetic.

So please know that IF you send me a pm I may not see it
until the next day.
