So mu numbers have been wonderful lately. My FBG has been around or under 100 and my post meal numbers never spike over 120. It's been great! I also don't feel quite so hypoglycemic with normal blood sugars anymore.
So here is my predicament. I'm currently taking 1 mg of Amaryl 1x a day and Byetta 5 mcg 2x a day. My doc had said accouple weeks ago that she wants to bump me up to Byetta 10 mcg 2x a day to get my numbers down just a bit more. But in the last couple weeks, my numbers have come down with no med adjustment so it isn't necessary. I have the option of going up to Byetta 10 mcg 2x a day and trying to eliminate the Amaryl. I've heard in the long run, Byetta is better than Amaryl as it will keep my beta cell production lasting longer.
What would you guys do? I kinda feel that if nothing is broken, don't fix it, but it seems that taking Byetta would be better for me in the long run.
