Last night 2 hours after eating my BS was 114. About 9 pm i ate a piece of cheese. This morning at 545 it was 157. I took the victoza at 130 pm yesterday. Any suggestions?

Dee, my endo warned me when I started Victoza to stop eating immediately when I begin to feel full, and while my stomach may be a bit whirly for a while, it stays under control. I eat about half as much as I used to. You may already do this (stop the second you begin to feel full) but thought I'd suggest it as it works for me.

Saw my endo yesterday and because my BS is running high in the mornings she wants me to go back on Victoza. I was taking it before and it just made me sick all the time and I would throw up after taking it for a couple of days. I told her this and she told me to just stay on the .06 for a week and see how that works. My A1C is 6.7. I was put on BP meds about two months ago and a beta blocker and thats when I noticed weight gain and higher BS in the morning. I think I could take this Victoza alright if it just didn't make me sick and bloated. Does it get better? And should I take it if I already have a slow emptying stomach? I told her about this but she didn't seemed concerned. I'm 62 and take Lantus, 10 units at 9:00, Nateglinide 120 MG before every meal, Synthroid 50 MCG a day,Humalog 100 units when needed on sliding scale. Metformin 4 pills at night with a snack at 9:00. My triglycerides are out of control but I have had this problem all my life even before becoming diabetic. It is now at 314. I have to admit I am active but lazy about excerise. Any idea's on the the Victoza will help. I usually keep it in the refrigerator and take it at night, around 8:00.

But I was below 120 and then it just went up one day and is staying in this range.

These morning numbers seem pretty good to me.

Last week i was put on metformin 2000 mg a day and victoza. I was on janumet. My morning number is still 135-146 same as before. Should i take victoza later in morning or break my metformin up and take the last one maybe closer to midnight? Any clues? Thanks

Victoza has been a miracle drug for me, amazing levels like I have never seen, but I read on a forum that it stops working after a couple of months. This has me terrified. Is this true for most people, that it will suddenly stop working and I'll be back to square 1 after only a few months? I really like what it's doing for me.

Thanks Leilani. That's a possibility, because my morning readings are so amazingly lower than they have been for at least 12 years. Wasn't so bad last night though, so maybe it was just a "thing" for a couple nights, you know, a couple nights of weird dreams for no reason except the life chaos of this particular weekend. But worth checking, for sure.

What's interesting is that though my sugars are so much lower than ever before since I've been measuring (that is, since my diagnosis), I don't feel "crashy." My regular doc kept saying the numbers I told her when I "crashed" on the lantus/levemir(80s to 100 in late afternoons) weren't really bad low, and I knew that, but it felt that way, because I charged down to them within an hour from 150 or more. I think calling them crashes as I did makes sense, because what made me so uncomfortable was the rapidity of the change. Now I am often at those numbers and feel fine.

Vivid dreams during the night can sometimes be an indication of low blood sugar. It may be helpful to check your BG around 2:00 am to see if that may be a contributing factor?!
