My primary doctor had me on 850mg (2x a day) of metformin and 1mg of amaryl. My AM readings were 150 or higher and I would drop below 100 by lunch, my A1c was 7.1, so many highs and lows. Finally decided to go to endocrinologist. Took me off Amaryl and put me on Victoza 1.2mg and had me go through diabetic education and nutrition. Three months later A1c was 5.5 an I lost 15 pounds (I'm not an exerciser)and best of all no extreme highs or lows.
