serialmom12 I completely understand your fear of needles (and have always wondered how anyone could be an IV drug user!!!). Starting type 2 was like a death sentence to me if I had to maintain it with a needle. For anyone who doesn't have this fear it's hard to explain- it's not about the pain, it's about the needle. Doesn't matter how big or small. The first time I took Victoza a nurse in my doctor's office sat with me for half an hour and in the end I had her give it to me. I went home determined to get past the fear. For the first few weeks I had my husband give me the injection at the top of my butt, but he travels for work and eventually I had to do it myself. Surprisingly I've been fine. I've had 2 c-sections and as a result the whole area under my belly button is numb so I don't feel a thing. And the needle for the victor is so tiny I can barely see it. The harder part for me is testing. I can't every day and on the days I do it's usually just once.
How are you doing with taking Victoza now? I tried once a week Trulicity but it didn't agree with me and I went back to Victoza.
