Message: <blockquote data-quote="Twisticles" data-source="post: 2211101" data-attributes="member: 496546">It's not necessarily a choice of either/or when it comes to insulin or incretic mimetics.  I'm on Soliqua 100/50 which is combination insulin/incretin mimetic.  I guess the idea is to balance the weight gain potential of insulin with the weight loss potential of incretin mimetics while increasing insulin and inhibiting glucagon - both of which reduce BG.I'm transitioning this weekend off the Soliqua and on to Victoza only, with an added Sulphonylureas for self-produced insulin boost. If your body is still producing enough insulin, why would you need an injection? It may be that the insulin-promoting properties of Victoza is enough.  How are you getting on after a week? Any side effects so far?  I am also nervous but also glad to be off the insulin since my BG stabilised (one month ago HbA1c was 97, currently trending towards 45 but too early to test).</blockquote>
