Byetta delays digestion significantly.

I've read reports from several people taking Byetta that they saw very good numbers at 2 hours, but when they tested at 4 hours they saw the high spikes they would have seen at 2 hours before taking Byetta.

So if you might want to test 3 or 4 hours after eating a known amount of carbohydrate to make sure you aren't deluding yourself about the impact on blood sugar.

Years ago I remember seeing great numbers after eating pasta and thinking it was a great food for people with diabetes, only to test at 4 hours (at a friend's suggestion) and see a wicked high spike.
