I didn't drop off my last dose of Victoza today. I checked in with my diabetic nurse to let her know what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. She was really excited for me HOWEVER...she would have kept me on the Victoza and started decreasing my Lantus rather than the other way around. I now understand that Victoza has some benefits in helping to lose weight, where Lantus has the tendency to cause weight gain which I had forgotten. Oh well, the course is set and I'm still happy! I will stay on the last step of the Victoza and start decreasing the Lantus going forward. It means I have to adjust my thinking to not dwell on reveling in the fact that three meds are gone (which would have been today), but on the fact that two are gone and I've decreased two others. Yayaya me, right?
Yesterday was a tough day for me. I had no difficulty sticking to my new way of life at all. I had a lot of difficulty with anxiety/panic yesterday and didn't manage to get to sleep until 2:30 this morning.
Today is new day and will be a good day! That is the wonderful thing about life... there is no need to dwell on the "down side", start fresh every morning and smile toward the future!

That is true about Lantus and Victoza. Lantus is insulin and Victoza is not. Insulin is the hormone from your pancreas that transports the glucose from the carbs you eat in your blood. Insulin is the "Fat" hormone and causes the glucose which is not immediately needed to go into fat storage. Thus weight gain. With insulin resistance your insulin may store 200 calories of your daily need allowance of 2000 cal. before your body gets to using any of the energy. This leads to hunger and overeating because you still need 2000 calories for life not 1800. High levels of insulin In your blood can also block the hormone Kept in from your fat cells. Kept in tells your brain that there is enough In storage and to stop eating. But if the Kept in signal is bl8cked you do not get that turn off signal. In obesity and type 2 diabetes there is resistance to your insulin. The insulin no longer can get the glucose into the cells as well. You make more insulin to do the job but overtime it does not work. Leading to the need for insulin injections to keep your blood glucose levels down and from becoming deadly. But that is treating only half the problem. The body's insulin level also needs to be addressed. It not, over time the pancreas can no longer produce any of the insulin that you need. This essentially changes you to Type 1 diabetes which is much more difficult to manage. Victoza helps your body use your insulin better and this it also has the potential to help you lose weight. If you are dealing with impaired carbohydrate metabolism then controlling the amount and type of carbohydrates you consume to most important.

Just wanted to give you the correct hormone name. I hate Auto correct at times. It is Leptin which the fat cells send to the brain to signal no need to eat any further.
You have a lot to celebrate and have come a long way. Be proud.
