[QUOTE="Gaz, post: 182511, member: 32823"] [b]Re: VICTOZA[/b] Hi All I'm a noob on this forum so please bear with me. First a little background, Been Type 2 diabetic since 2005 and just diet controlled for 2 years (HBA1c 7.2) then started metformin for 2 years but HBA1c still climbing so my GP then decided to change my Metformin from 2000mg per day to 3000mg and thats where things went wrong. My body took a reaction to the large dose and all my joints got inflamed so then it was back to the drawing board as far as medication. Tried slow release metformin but no good, started on Glicazide ramping up to 320mg per day but my HBA1c was still climbing, Tried a lower dose of metformin as well and I'm able to tolerate this. This brings me to the present, I've just started Victoza today and here are my stats weight 13st 13Lbs HBA1c 10.2 Blood sugar normally range between 14 and 18 any time of the day :( My medication now consists of Victoza 0.6 but going to 1.2 next week Glicazide 320mg Metformin 1000mg I'll try and keep you all informed on how its going Gaz [/QUOTE]
