insulin vs GLP-1

Hi and welcome to the boards :wave:

I actually started on insulin many years ago and unfortunately my weight had increased along with my insulin dosage. Plus I just didn't look after myself properly - I head my head firmly in the sand.

In the end I asked my Dr for help and I was put on Victoza at the end of September. Since then I have been able to reduce my insulin dosage by 60% and have lost 1st 7lbs. It hasn't been easy but since finding this site I have changed my whole diet and outlook.

If I were to choose now which one I would go on - I would choose Victoza.

Hope you get some more advice from other peeps. Let us know how your getting on.
