Hello
s you have stated these are some minor side effect of Byetta. If these are really affecting your daily routine you should consult your medical specialist & adjust your Byetta dose
After injecting Byetta delaying in meal is not preffered becouse of risk of hypoglycemia. so dont delay in taking meal after injection
Ok Take care
