diabetes, type 2
"I am a type 2 diabetic who takes 2000 mg of metformin. I did good for awhile and then no matter how much I excercised or watched carbs, my blood sugars were running in the 200s. I was resistant to start any other kind of meds and the doctor said I had 3 months to get everything under control or he was going to prescribe some other medicine for me. The diabetic educator talked me into starting Victoza. She promised me that it would be less painful than pricking my finger. I didn't believe her but she was right. I started on Victoza yesterday and did a lot of reading of online reviews before I gave myself that first injection. I did it around 6:00 pm because I heard that you could get nausea during the day and I wanted to make sure I was not nauseous."
