I have not tried Victoza, but I currently take Byetta. I am usually quite sensitive to side effects of medication, but I have not had any with the Byetta. You might want to do a little research on it at byetta.com to see if you think it might be right for you.
Is the doctor you have been seeing (or the PA) an endocrinologist or a PCP? I have found that endocrinologists take diabetes more seriously than some PCP's. However, my PCP is pretty thorough about keeping me on track. Plus, he gives me a supply of Byetta (samples) for three months at a time. I could not afford it otherwise.
I don't know if this was helpful. It definitely sounds like you need to locate a new doctor. There are sites online where you can see patients' reviews of doctors. I would check those and also check out the byetta site, if you are thinking about going that way.
PS: I have also tried glipizide and Januvia. Neither had any impact on my glucose levels.
