Message: <blockquote data-quote="lucy336" data-source="post: 230929" data-attributes="member: 39117">Hi ppl,I have been using Victoza (also called Liraglutide) for aprx a year now.  I was told it would help me lose weight but it was only when I started going to the gym that I started losing weight.  I started on 0.6, then it was upped to 1.2.   I currently take a 1.2 injection of Liraglutide in the morning, 2 x 500mg metformin and 2 x 80mg gliclazide with breakfast then 2 x 500mg metformin and 1 x 80mg gliclazide with dinner. I changed my eating habbits from 3 meals & 2 snacks a day to 4 small meals a day. Combine that with a low carb diet and hey presto...perfect sugar levels.  Without the Liraglutide I couldnt get my sugar levels to stabalise. I live in hampshire and have had no problems obtaining my prescriptions. For the first couple of 'scripts I'd ask the pharmacy if they had it in stock. First of all they said no but could order it in, second time they had it in stock and ive been using the same supermarket pharmacy since....Im far from perfect tho! Im hopeless at remembering to take my medication. I have three children and Im so busy with them and the housework and the husband and the dogs and oh the list goes on...      ....Ive tried putting reminders in my fone but I never know when Im going to be eating.  When the kids are away or we're on hol Im spot on, absolutely perfect. But at home my heads a spin evry day ( I was very hyperactive as a child and my middle child is currently being assessed for ADHD so i wander if I had/have the same thing ).  If anyone has any suggestions on remembering to take medication I'd be very grateful.Also this low carb thing. It works I wont lie to you but I feel so hungry wen Im following a lowC diet. How do you fill yourself up without putting on weight? I just feel like not eating anything because the foods Im left with are minimal. Every morning I try and cycle 1/2 a grapefuit, 2 slices wholemeal toast, 2 weetabix, and a small bowl of porridge into my breakfast menu. Im so bored of eating the same things the last 6/7 years but anything else jus raises my sugars too much. Cant even eat shreddies which are so yummy coz they raise my sugars as well. Does anyone else have these problems? Can anyone share advice? Look forward to hearing from you</blockquote>
