You do have to be on either insulin or tablets ie metformin in order for it to take affect but i was told it does work very very well with together insulin. Normally they'd advice you to start on the lowest dose first then with monitoring its increased while the insulin used is decreased. When i first started taking it i was taking 30 units of novomix in the morning and around 25-30 units of insulin at night combined with 0.6 victoza once daily. Im now on the highed dose of victoza however my insulin intake is down to 15 units in the morning and 12 units at night. i have managed to reduce my weight by 6 kilos in the first 2 months so i can say im very happy with the results. However be warned as the first few days of taking it it can make you feel sick but then its over after a week or so. youll get the feeling of feeling sick each time you start a new increase of dose. i did experince a few hypos to start as i really wasnt aware how strong this new drug is, so make sure your monitoring very well and keep close contact with your DN when you start. I highly recommend it!</p></blockquote><p></p>
