Thank you George, i know i'll be on insulin forever and i'm ok with that.  Maybe just alot less since my eating habits will change.  Here's to the future for all of us

I am taking metformin and added the victoza last month. I promptly lost twenty pounds. I take it at night at bedtime, no side effects. I am finally feeling full when I eat, and I don't crave carbs. It would be a miracle drug if I could take it forever.

I have had this problem for awhile and there are a few things I have found that help.

I had to see a dietitian for this and she was really helpful. I always assumed that I needed more protein and that would somehow keep me level. And protein does help keep things a bit more level, longer. But what I didn't know is that I need to take it with a type of sugar to get my blood sugar back up. So I would always be low or very low blood sugar with a mostly protein approach, and never reached 'normal'. It also made things get progressively worse.
Since my work doesn't do breaks and low blood sugar can hit me at anytime (1-2 hours after a well rounded meal) I always have dried fruit and nuts/seeds on me.

-You want to keep the snack to 200 calories, so the amount depending on which dried fruit or nuts you are eating. As soon as I feel hypoglycemic I eat 5 dried apricots and 2 tablespoons of *salted sunflower seeds. (I was eating unsalted but my already low blood pressure(100-90/60) was putting me even lower(90/41) since the dried fruits have a lot of vit K). It is the perfect snack to carry with you anywhere and I have them pre-measured in snack ziploc baggies in my purse ready for me when I need it.

-Weight training, increasing muscle helps the drop in blood sugar to not be so dramatic. (To increase muscle you need to eat protein and supplement creatine right after weight training)

-Plan to eat a lot of small meals so as you drop you can get back up.

-Chromium is suppose to keep blood sugar more level, I am uncertain how effective it is.

-I am currently trying 2 minutes of thigh exercise just before eating a meal ( squats, lunges or squeezing my butt and thighs together). I read that it helps "open up the muscle for glycogen storage" So that when your body automatically takes the sugar out of your blood more of it goes to muscle instead of fat!

-A slow digesting protein drink like syntha-6 I have found helps.

My nutritionist put me on it about three weeks ago.  I did a lot of reading about it.  Nausea and diahrrea are very common side effects.  I started out at .6 mg.  I was fine the first day then the next three days felt just awful, but it went away.  Then after a week my dose went up to 1.2 mg and sure enough I got sick again, but it was only two days instead of three.  People are calling this drug the chemical lapband.  It robs most people of their appetite.  One of the things it does is slow down how fast your stomach empties, so as a result you feel full faster and longer.  I have always been a habitual night time snacker, and I'm not anymore with this.  Last night I was still full at 9:30pm (dinner was at 5:00 pm) when my husband wanted a snack.  Oh and warning - I have found that if you push past that full feeling and eat anyways, it makes you feel awful.  At least that's what it does to me.  It's taken away my desire to overeat.  I had my nutritionist appt this morning and I had lost 9 pounds!!!  My fasting blood sugars are still high, but the nutritionist said it works on the between meal levels.  It actually helps your pancreas function more normally.  I reccomend reading every bit of literature the company makes on it.  I've also read lots of comments online about it. The needles are painless.  I think testing my blood sugar hurts more.  So far I'm happy wit hthe results, and I actually feel like it's prepping me for WLS.  Hope this helps. 

My doctor e-mailed my new number.  He said he checked his records and it hasn't been this low since 2003.  I down over 35 pounds, too. The only med I'm still on is my Lantus and my dose has dropped from 95 (before surgery) to 20 units. I'm so happy!
