Hello,
   i hope you don't have any problems with your insurance covering the 
Victoza.  i appologize, but i'm not remembering right now how much i pay 
for it when i'm not in the nasty dounut hole.  i'm still on insulin as 
well, so that didn't change for me.  And i don't have to eat any kind of 
snack at night, but i suppose depending on your overall treatment it 
could be different for you.  Hope this helps.
Lauren
