no stephanie - Byetta is dosed in mcg
Subject: no stephanie - Byetta is dosed in mcg
BYETTA therapy should be initiated at 5 mcg per dose administered twice daily at any time within the 60-minute period before the morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, approximately 6 hours or more apart). BYETTA should not be administered after a meal. Based on clinical response, the dose of BYETTA can be increased to 10 mcg twice daily after 1 month of therapy. Each dose should be administered as a SC injection in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
BYETTA is recommended for use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are already receiving metformin, a sulfonylurea, a thiazolidinedione, a combination of metformin and a sulfonylurea, or a combination of metformin and a thiazolidinedione, and have suboptimal glycemic control. When BYETTA is added to metformin or thiazolidinedione therapy, the current dose of metformin or thiazolidinedione can be continued as it is unlikely that the dose of metformin or thiazolidinedione will require adjustment due to hypoglycemia when used with BYETTA. When BYETTA is added to sulfonylurea therapy, a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (see PRECAUTIONS, Hypoglycemia).
BYETTA is a clear and colorless liquid and should not be used if particles appear or if the solution is cloudy or colored. BYETTA should not be used past the expiration date.

Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from hyperthyroid, macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't. Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30. I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in. So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing. Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation. So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.
