I've been on Glucovance for some time now, and the Docs feel I should stay on it. I eventaully need more and then another med added to the mix. Actos only made me fat and did little to reduce BS. Then Januvia, which at first worked ok, but now, I fight to stay in the low 200's.

So now they gave me Byetta and the first day it seemed to work, I was down to 150 for the first time in a long time.I was told to stop Januvia, and continue with Glucovance, But that first day of Byetta, I still had Glucovance & Januvia in my system.

Then daily my sugars rose back into the low 200's, and now a week later I'm into the high 200's to low 300's.

What gives, Byetta says it works with Metformin & Sulf. meds, which basically is what Glucovance is. So why the rise?

I'm thinking of going back on Januvia myself (still have a lot left) and backing off or quitting of Gluovance to see where Byetta/Januvia gets me.

But before I do, I wanted to know if anyone here has had trouble with Byetta & Glucovance together, and if so, what was done to remedy it?

Also, everyone says that Byetta will make me nausious & also curb my hunger, which in turn helps with carb intake when eating less. I have not experienced upset stomach or a loss of appetite even one time since 2 weeks of Byetta.

Makes me think Byetta is not even working at all for me.

My other problem is that when I get put on any new med, it works great for 6 months to a year, and then seems like it stops working. I asked the doc about building tolerance to meds, and he said he does not believe in that theory. But the more it happens to me, the I see the opposite.

Oh well, anyone been in my situation that might shed some useful info on this for me?

Thanks
