Victoza works well for about two years before side effects kick in.
If you are worried about needles there is available: Novofine Autocover needles where you don't see the needle. I use them because I have a needle phobia.
Another option is to go totally vegan.
I started on insulin and gained weight. They switched me to tablets but couldn't tolerate metformin. Then they put me on victoza and my blood sugars lowered and I lost about a stone and a half from 14st 7lbs, but then I started to be sick. Now through my own research I decided to go vegan and have lost a further stone my blood sugars are an average of 7.
The choice is yours not your doctor/nurse
