[Diabetes-talk] victoza

[d m gina]

Mike,
thanks so much,
The way it was explained to me, that your sugars could drop and you 
need to down size the insulin in half, and then if your sugars are to 
high you encrease it one number at a time.
That each week they encrease what you take for a dosage of the victoza.
I felt quite confused.
Normal Dar giggle.
