Hello Lin ... I was diagnosed 5 years ago with type 2 after having gestational diabetes with my son ..was put on metformin1000mg daily .. then last year I heard about Victosa which can help reduce hb1ac and help with weight loss .. at over 21 stones and only 5ft 1 I asked my nurse ... it was agreed I could give it a try.. I was already at slimming world and lost 1 stone .. so then from August 2018 I was on the metformin and 1.2mls of Victosa .. at my next review I had lost 3 and half stone and my hb1ac had dropped to 41 . We were all very happy so was advised to drop 1 metformin and continue what I was doing . At my latest review my hb1ac has dropped to 37 my nurse and doctors advised me on Tuesday to stop the Victosa and metformin and continue with the healthy plan and they would repeat the hb1ac in 3 months .. she asked me to finger test for a little while .. the thing is my sugars since Tuesday keep dropping low .. running in the 4’s but on a couple of occasions dropping as low as 3.1.. I have been told that this should correct itself over the next few days as they think it may be the Victosa working its way out of my system.. but I am struggling with what I should and shouldn’t eat sorry it’s a long one ... just feel I should be so happy but feel I am having more issues now.. my weight loss now is 5 stone x
