Hi folks, not been on here as much as I would like...I have kept up-to-date with events via news feeds from the forum. I have been busy studying for my degree so not had too much time to post. I have a question, I just found a great cereal bar which is sold in Lidl, it contains no sugar...

Re: VICTOZA Just an update of how I am getting on with Victoza, this has far been the best drug for me in controlling my diabetes. My latest tests show my levels are 6.0 and hasn't moved for 6 months so I am stable now. Next month it will be a year since starting it, at the time I was my...

Hi Fezzy, How old is your son?

Re: VICTOZA Like you Jackie I am on Victoza and yes Weetabix etc send your BG levels high, the best cereal I have used is Lizzi's Granola, it is the best for keeping your BG levels low and sustaining it until lunch. I have been on Victoza for over 6 months now and it's the best thing I have...

That's brilliant, did you get that from a health shop?

Wow that's fab news, I might just go get myself a bike :D

Has anyone had good results in lowering their cholesterole? I am no longer taking statins because of having weird effects, I have started taking a small bottle of the yogurt drink each day, if someone has had a good result from taking this drink, how long did it take to work?

I have been on victoza for 5 months now and it's been great, today I got back my Hb1ac test back I am now down to 6.0, the doctors are pleased with my results so don't need to see them for at least 6 months :D b

I am not really a drinker but lately after a little trip away I indulged in a glass or two of whiskey and had surprising results with BG levels too! so just to be sociable with friends whilst out and about I partake in a glass or maybe two :D

Lidl do a good 85% chocolate that comes in small bars, you get 5 bars for 99p so that's good value. I have been known to eat a little more than I should, but a treat now and again is fine. :D

I found that Hotel Chocolat (speciality chocolate shop) has more products than just buying 70% chocolate, they also sell reduced sugar and 85% chocolate bars which in my estimation are the best, they are a little expensive but a little goes a long way.

I commend you for giving up something you so dearly loved, like I gave up smoking and drinking alcohol, I now have a passion for chocolate, a little of what you like won't do you much harm, that's my motto. I haven't seen any animosity on this forum with regards to speaking your mind, I say if...

I have never been a fan of chocolate, then I became a diabetic and suddenly I got very fond of it, they say once something is forbidden you crave it! I asked my DN about treats and she said to buy 70%+ chocolate and have a couple of squares now and again, now I eat it as a treat and have no...

As a person on Victoza myself I have upto 100g of carbs a day, I have to sustain a good BG level and the drug is doing it's work. Last week I got a bad stomach, felt sick etc...so I didn't have enough carbs and my BG levels went up higher than normal. I would dearly love to lose more weight...

Re: VICTOZA I have now been on Victoza for around 3 and a half months and it's going well. I have had a few high readings but I put that down to an infection I had and when it cleared up my BG levels went back to normal. I am due my 3 month test again soon so this will be the point they tell...
