Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Finaly, today I am starting Victoza.
I used to be on Byetta but several times I was missing the dinner time dose.
Victoza once a day shot should eliminate this problem.
I will give update on how it goes.
I had my first shot of Victoza 0.6mg this morning without any side effects whatsover.
I used to be on Byetta 10mg twice a day, 2000mg a day of Metformin and 20 units of Lantus every night.

I have diabetes type 2 since 1998.
Since 2007 I began to use Lantus, Lispro and Metformin.
In 2009 I began to use Byetta on and off (I had to buy it and it is very expensive). I loved Byetta and I lost some pounds.
Fortunately for me my new insurance is paying for Victoza and so far so good.
In two days I will start the 1.2mg dose and in 10 days I will start the 1.8mg.
I am taking 2000mg every day of Metformin.
This morning my blood sugar was 109.
