[QUOTE="Paul_PC, post: 344430, member: 56630"] Just wondering if anyone else on these boards has been prescribed with Liraglutide (Victoza)? My blood sugars were horribly out of control (18+) for years, despite taking Metformin and Gliclazide. In October 2012 I had to stay in hospital when I suffered a mild heart attack. The diabetes team were horrified at my sugars and the consultant prescribed a Liraglutide injection. I was dead against it as I'd put off becoming insulin dependant for years; however, it was the best thing I've ever done. My blood sugars dropped almost immediately and are now around 4 or 5 first thing and maybe 6 in the evening. I've also lost almost 3 stone in weight because Liraglutide acts as an appetite suppressant and I now have no interest in eating. I spoke to a diabetes nurse at my surgery during a regular check-up and she knew straight away that I'd been in hospital as GPs won't prescribe the stuff because it's so expensive! You have to ask if this is a false economy, given the longterm benefits. If anyone's offered this treatment, I'd grab it with both hands! Interested to hear any other experiences of it. :) [b]Apologies - I've just realised there are other threads on this subject. I [i]did [/i]look first, honestly![/b] :oops: [/QUOTE]
