[QUOTE="BrianSkye, post: 833934, member: 29125"] I have been on Victoza for nearly two years and found it very successful, more so than the Metformin and Gliclazide, at controlling my BG. However it rapidly became necessary to use it at the 1.8mg dose level. Suddenly, out of the blue at a review with the diabetic nurse, they have practically forced/browbeat me into changing to Bydureon. My the pens are big! I just took delivery of my first batch. Thing is, before I went on to Victoza I already trialled Byetta and found it to be ineffective. Does anyone know why they are insisting on changing me to Bydureon because I can't get a straight answer out of the nurse, she seems totally impervious to logic. I actually got minimally shirty with her and the floating doctor she had brought with her and managed to get a promise that if Bydureon didn't work I could go back to Victoza, though I'm not sure what the promise is worth. I'm suspicious, as always, that cost may be behind this, does anyone know if that might be it? I'm the first at my GP practice to be put on to it. All info gratefully received. Brian [/QUOTE]
