1. I'm Type 2

I'm on Byetta and metformin. Most of the time it works well, but then sometimes, for no apparent reason, my blood sugar drops like a stone after I eat and have taken the Byetta. I also control my carb intake to try to keep my overall blood sugar down.

I think that's my biggest battle... in terms of frustration anyway. Sometimes, I do everything right and it just seems like it doesn't work and I end up confused about how I got there. I hear you on the low blood sugar wiping you out... when my blood sugar plummets, I'm useless for hours.
