I have been on insulin and slow release metformin for 10 years, which resulted in me gaining 4 stone in weight. 3 weeks ago I came off it and on to Byetta x 5mg with metformin at the max dose of 2 x 500mg twice a day one hour before the Byetta. I feel ok and have lost 2 stone. I am suffering from nausea and sickness at bedtime. but the main problem is my sugar levels which have gone from 5--9 on insulin (50 + 1metformin twice daily) to readings in the 20's no matter how little or what I eat ! I feel OK but my vision has deteriorated slightly. (I have had it thoroughly checked by my optometrist and there does not seem to be any bad effects on my eyes). My main concern is my sugar levels. Can you advise.
