    Re: VICTOZA Hi Hobs, Thanks for the info. I have an appointment with my DB nurse in about a week so I will see if she can get me a prescription for the needle you mention. Admittedly though, when I injected this morning, I didn't get the same pain? Might have just hit a sore spot; I'll be...

    Re: VICTOZA Hello, Well I took my first 1.2mg dose today and while I have experienced no discomfort inserting the needle, or while administering the dose, about 5 seconds after I have removed the needle, i got quite a bad pain in that area. :( Has anyone else experienced a similar thing with...

    Byetta / Victoza

    I had been on Metformin 2000mg a day for the best of 3 years with not much improvement atall. It was getting to the point where I wouldn't even bother taking my meds because I couldn't see any changes so thought I was wasting my time. It is only over the past 6 months I have started to get a...

    Low Carb Recipes

    99% Coco/Cocao Hi all, I was wondering if someone could give me an idea what tasty treats I might be able to conjure up with some rather fine 99% coco (Lindt). I got two bars of it, 1 I have just had a piece every now and then as a treat, but I'm sure it could be used to make something really...

    baths and hypos

    Sorry to go a little off subject here, but how do i stand with using the sauna? I have really high BG levels most of the time, would spell in the sauna not help bring them down a little? I must admit i have used them in the past and actually felt quite good afterwards, but is it a real danger...

    oil of cloves - lowers sugar levels?

    I'm stunned to find someone who actually LIKES the taste of these things. Thanks to extreme tooth ache over a year ago I now can't even stand the smell of these things! Great for numbing a tooth/Gum (the whole ones that is), but every time I smell them now it just reminds me of pain and makes...

    Re: VICTOZA Hi Karen, I too am new to the boards and really glad I joined, lots of help and support to be had here. Good to hear you are reaping the benfits of being on Victoza, I can't wait to see what results I get. For me the biggest hurdle is the actual injection itself, huge fear of...

    Re: VICTOZA Morning All! I did say I'd post as soon as I'd started Victoza to let you know how i got on with my fear of needles etc. Well I had huge anxiety when I got in there, was sweating a lot and felt really weak. The nurse asked if I wanted to do it or if she should - I advised her to...

    Re: VICTOZA Again I'd like to thank you for your kind words and support; I think its these kind of testimonials that are going to help me get my head round this. I'm sure once the first one is out of the way, I'll be ok, its just taking that leap, in my case. I'll be sure to let you know how...

    Re: VICTOZA Thanks for the reply, I'll just have to bite the bullet on this one i guess! Its not that I'm worried about it hurting so much; its the phobia of needels which I am going to struggle with, in my eyes its like asking someone with a fear of flying, to fly a plane :shock:

    Hi, I use the Accu-Chek® Compact Plus GT (sounds more like a sporty hatch-back), just wondering if anyone has any experience of using this one, would be interested to hear. I have been using it for about 1 and a half years, not really had any trouble with it. My only negative is it can ask...
