[QUOTE="Amansco, post: 196314, member: 22375"] [b]Re: VICTOZA[/b] Many thanks for your replies sorry I haven't replied sooner but for some reason my replies went to an old email address which I had to change to Identity Theft so I will need to look into how to change my email address here as I really value your input. I still haven't started the Victosa yet (I know I am a coward, I just have so much going on healthwise and feel I can handle what I have but not sure if I could handle anything else going wrong)!! Reading your posts however have made me feel more confident as none of you who have replied have had any real side effects so that is encouraging. My fasting sugars in the morning average between 12.3 and 14.3. Through the day my blood sugars average between 15.9 to 21.9. I am on Humalog 50 and take 68 units 3 times a day. I don't want to increase my insulin as that is just going to help me put on more weight which is the last thing I need. My other health issues are Benign Intracranial Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Angina, Peripheral Neuropathy in both feet (Have no pulse in my right foot), I also have eye damage and I have recently lost my peripheral vision. I also have Irritible Bowel Syndrome and the list goes on. I am on a huge cocktail of drugs and so it is no shock that my diabetes is proving very hard to control. Tomorrow I will start Victosa and I will let you know how things work out. I feel very alone with this and only have my GP but even she admits that she is not entirely sure how to go with this Victosa along with my insulin. I guess I will need to stock up on Lucozade so that I have it to hand should the hypos come on. Thanks for your support with this. Regards, Amanda [/QUOTE]
