Default Do the insulin

Byetta is a hormone that plays around with your innards by suppressing appetite and encouraging you to eat smaller meals. Victoza, FDA-approved about two years ago, is a similar drug. Byetta made me too nauseous and Victoza made my heart beat faster. I'm now on meal-time and nighttime insulins. I took myself off drinking and I rarely drink diet-sodas. Enjoy lots of water, seltzer, and shy away from excessively salted foods. Also do my own yard work, walk the dog, and use the home treadmill and hospital gym. Still overweight and gl management is always a work in progress, but I keeping on top of things and staying positive.
Do the insulin. I don't think it's a good idea to delay it.
