I have been having real trouble with high BG levels, and have a really high HBA1c - 87...
I've been taking Metformin and Gliclazide for a while, and it's not been working too well. I've had loads of hyper episodes, where my BG has been 20+ and I've been pretty unwell. Finally got referred to hospital consultant and have been prescribed Victoza to start tomorrow...
I've read loads about serious nausea/vomiting etc as side effects and it's making me really worried.
Has anyone got experience of this drug, and if so, any tips on how to avoid the horrible side effects please?
