mofofunk said: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 I get on once i start taking it (just waiting for my appointment, to be shown how to use it), its almost taunting me, sitting there in the fridge waiting to be used lol :?
Thanks again

Hobs said:For many of us Victoza has turned out to be the 'missing-link' in T2 antidiabetes treatment and for me it has kept me away from insulin as a last resort.
DazG said:Is Victoza something you have to take if you cant get good control over your blood sugar?
DazG said:Why do people also take the one beginning with G, cant think what its called, but my dad takes it along with the metformin?
mofofunk said: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 the increase in dose, or just with the injecting in general?
Thanks
Ash

If you keep moving the needle site around your midriff than any discomfort is kept to a minimum... and a shorter needle helps too.

I swap eitherside of my belly button each day and I am using 6mm needle, is there a shorter one available?
Thanks
