?Hi, Ive been Type 2 for 2 years - currently taking 1000mg Metformin slow release and my level is 8.1. I'm probably about 4 stone overweight.
Last week I was advised by the doctor to have the Victoza injections but I have a terrible phobia about needles and although I've see what they're like I'm still resisting this. As an alternative I was given the choice of Januvia or Gliclazide. I've researched both and have found such conflicting views Im still very confused.
Victoza seems to have had good reviews on here and the two tablets have side effects which I don't want - i.e. weight gain and stomach upsets.
Can anyone give me a quick bit of advice please as I have to go back to docs tonight with a decision.
