Victoza instead of Insulin

[NuclearDreams]

After several years of insulin injections, my doctor has decided to put me on Victoza. I have to say this is a vast improvement over insulin. I only need to take one injection a day. Besides controlling blood sugar more efficiently, it also helps curb hunger. I haven't felt any side effects, or had any low blood sugar problems yet. I think I'm starting to sound like a commercial...but just wanted to share this. Maybe this will help someone else too.

Hi!

How long have you been on it and how are you bs's going now?

Were you taken insulin alone or with metphormin prior to this new med?

Thanks for the link and for sharing. I'll ask my doc next time I go.

Since the new med my blood sugar level has been between 100mg/dl and 120mg/dl. Before I was taking two types of insulin, one for the day and one right before I went to sleep.

Those are great numbers!! I'm so glad it is working well and just one shot!

I see my doc in January and will see what she says.

Thanks again..
