[QUOTE="josh010, post: 1230217, member: 324769"] I am a type 2 and have been for last 10 years and 50, I am not overweight to a level where my blood sugars should be high, but I am now getting worried, i have been on Gliclazide 40mg and Metformin 2000mg daily, I was on Invokana and Sitagliptin and my Hbac1 was 8.5, I thought was ok, Gp advised its too high. Three weeks ago, I was informed that I may have to go in Insulin, I advised no as my mother is on this and her weight ballooned from 9.2 stones to 12.5 Stones, they then advised I stop Invokana and I stop Sitagliptin too. I did this 3 weeks ago and was started on Victoza 0.6, which supressed my cravings, but did not make me feel any better in fact my sugars and fasting sugars increased from the normal 8mmol to 9.5mmol, week 2 I went on to 1.2mg again no improvement in sugars and have put a Kilo on, so now weight 95Kg, I have a very slow digestion now and its causing me constipation, but I am still hoping, informed GP and now been advised to go onto 1.8mg, so did this yesterday and my sugars are before any meal and 4 hours after lunch 14.6mmol my sugars this morning post waking were 13.2mmol. I am now getting extremely worried, I have taken 80mg of gliclazide as my 40mg dose has not worked and 30 minutes after my sugar remains at 11.2mmol and not even eaten yet!! My concern is - how long before Victoza works in the body? How can I go on with this if nothing is changing and in fact getting worse and shall I be ok to go back onto Sitagliptin and Invokana as I am not going on Insulin. Any advise and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
