Victoza and Type 1s

[Vicsetter]

According to this article: Victoza shown to also benefit type 1 diabetes on the diabetes.co.uk website a small research project has indicated that Type1s can benefit from Victoza (only 14 people). Odd one this as Novo-nordisk do not approve Insulin and Victoza together. It works for me as the trial suggests. Would I be cynical to think this was an attempt to sell more Victoza, which costs more than insulin🙄

I think they are a bit mixed up with the frst paragraph:

The popular type 1 diabetes drug treatment Victoza could also benefit people suffering from the type 2 version of the condition, a recent study has announced. Research into the effects of Victoza has shown that it improves weight loss, reduces the amount of insulin needed and offers improved control over blood sugar levels for patients with well-controlled type 1 diabetes.

It's not a 'popular Type 1 diabetes drug treatment'

Yes it seems someone's slipped up there : quote.

Liraglutide (NN2211), marketed under the brand name Victoza, is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog that has been developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
