This Byetta is really doing well. Tonight was pizza night. 65 gm of
wheat carb, with very little fiber. Previous pizza nights only have
given me a 40-60 point rise, which is OK depending on your starting
number. But tonight**, the pizza gave me a higher than expected spike.
Post Prandial results
1 hour 40 point spike
1 1/2 hours, 70 point spike (30 points more than at 1 hour)
2 hours, dropped 50 points
There are two things that are interesting (to me) here
1) the fact that the highest point of the spike was delayed by 30
minutes. Normally, anything but rice gives me my max spike at 60
minutes. They delay is probably due to Byetta’s slowing down the
emptying of the stomach.
2) the sharp drop of 50 points in the final 30 minute test period.

** As an experiment, I had stopped eating cheese about a week ago.
Cheese with every meal or for snacks had seemed to have been giving me
a lower overall number and smaller spikes.
