Victoza represents an important advance in diabetes treatment because it helps patients maintain normal blood sugar levels with a once-daily injection that can be taken at any time of day, irrespective of meals. Victoza works with the body to lower glucose levels by stimulating the release of insulin only when glucose levels become too high. The benefit to the patient is that there is reduced risk of blood sugar becoming too low (hypoglycaemia).
