diabetes, type 2
"Was on victoza 4 years ago and lost about 48 pounds, had an A1C of 6.8-7.1.  Switched insurances to one that didn't cover victoza.  Had to go on insulin instead, 70/30 55 units before breakfast and dinner.  So I gained back 40 pounds in about 10 months, A1C has been as high as 11.2 and as low as 8.0.  Have had to deal with hypoglycemia several times.    Just got new insurance this month, began Victoza last Thursday, and took my insulin that day, too.  Glucose dropped from high 200s average to having a 104 and a 118 that day!!  I haven't seen numbers like that in a couple of years!  Friday, I skipped my insulin dose.  glucoses are staying in the 100s, appetite is much less, and I am INSULIN FREE, which will help in so many ways!"
