Are you on Victoza and insulin?

[ickihun]

I'm wondering if my specialist will offer me Victoza to compliment my insulin on my next appointment?
Do you take both?

Hi, hope yer well?

Sorry to butt in on this.. Just a thought?
But wouldn't the addition of Victoza mess with how your insulin regime works? (As opposed to "compliment".)

Happy to be slapped if I'm barking the wrong tree!

Still no weight loss. Feel I'm adding as now less mobile due to joint and back pains, even on painkillers. I'm near the 20st mark and may have to have bariatric surgery afterall. My plans for walking clubs is on hold and attending too cold local swimming pool. Victoza helped me lose weight in the past but no bg improvement so thought I could ask for Victoza again.

I am on victoza but do not take insulin
I have been on victoza almost a year.
I have lost some weight while taking it, though not as much as what the nurse said I would.
I have lost 7 stone in total but most of that was lost before taking the victoza

Im on both was prescribed victoza first which helped with the weight loss but not blood sugar levels so now take 1.8mg of victoza and 12 units of humalin they wanted to put sister in law on it but they would have had to change insulin defo worth asking
