| Hi Bob: Welcome aboard! Byetta is not likely going to help with your fasting numbers, as it mainly works with the post meal numbers.
Are you watching your carbs, esp potatoes, rice, pasta, breads? Do you test often to see how different foods affect your blood sugar?
Many of us have problems with getting our fastings at the 110or less level. You might want to check out some of the older posts on "dawn phenomenon."
How long have you had diabetes? Have you been tried on any other meds before your Byetta? Is the Byetta controlling your post-meal numbers?
