You really need to discuss this first before you make any decision. We can advise you, but it is solely your choice.With Victoza it is one daily injection. Nothing more, and speaking as one who injects Byetta twice daily it doesn't hurt if done correctly, is not a problem. There are different needle sizes too which can all go to helping you with the injection. I thought I would have a problem too and I WAS a hulking great 19 st 8 lbs and nearly six foot male.  I was a wimp ! I'm so glad I was able to go ahead and just do it. I am now a well controlled Diabetic, weighing 15 st 5 lbs because I conquered that fear.Many have posted on here before with similar problems to you. Sometimes you have to just think, which is worse ? A daily injection or poor control and all the possible complications that might bring in the future. Worth thinking about you know. Good luck with the Victoza, it does seem to be working very well.    <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
