Currently I am on metformin 2000 mg and gliclazide 160 mg, the nurse warned me that gliclazide has a side effect that it can cause weight gain, which is a problem for me as I can't afford to gain weight. So far I have been lucky though how long for is a different matter.
Looking at some web sites they say that Victoza does not cause weight gain, but has some bad side effects.
What are peoples experience of Victoza? I am still trying to sort out my peaks which have on the rare occasion gone to around 16.0, though had a few around the 12.0's, usually before tea time.
When or what circumstances can you switch over to it and is it worth switching over? Want to go prepared before seeing a doctor as most of my practice docs don't provide much support for type 2's.
