[QUOTE="brendan101, post: 1165488, member: 179417"] Victoza does 3 things, slows stomach emptying, reduces glucose loading from the liver and makes the beta cells work harder to produce insulin especially after meals. It works well for Type 2s. It is not licensed for Type 1s and is not prescribed in the UK for this reason. Obviously it cannot stimulate the beta cells in type 1 as most of us don't have any working beta cells! Clinical trials have not shown it to reduce HbA1c in Type 1s either and this is the main reason for prescribing medication to Type 1s. That said it has helped my weight hugely, reduced my insulin dose per day by 20% and minimised blood glucose spikes after eating so it's exceptionally good. That said if any Type 1 is getting it on the NHS please let us know and explain how. Missymoo2006 how are you getting it? [/QUOTE]
