Stavs, be very careful eating that many carbs...even with Byetta! It might be interesting for you to take a 3 or 4 hr reading as well...I'm betting that you'll see your blood sugar starting to rise then. Byetta slows digestion and spikes, but if you overdo on the carbs, you'll still SEE the rise, just later than the 2 hr reading.
