I started off with Lxyumia then went onto Victoza. Taking the injection is not as bad as you think

Weird that Kjosh! Same profession but totally different recommendations! Lol

Same here. Sceptical at first having to stick a needle into my body. I do mine first thing on the morning as I'm getting dressed; very simple to administer. A couple of bruises, but nothing serious. Sugar levels have come down quite a bit, much to my delight. It's now part of my daily routine...

Started using Victoza September last year. Sceptical at first as my initial concern was that I had to stick a needle into some part of my body. Ouch!!! But after being shown by my Diabetic Nurse where to inject and the ease of setting up the pen it wasn't too bad at all! It is now part of my...
