Company says diabetes drug Victoza superior to rival drugI’m taking 1.8mg Victoza daily and my endo is having me back off of the Levemir by 2 units every two or three days and so far I’m down to 6 units from 10 units last week. Victor seems to be keeping my sugar levels under control just as good as the insulin. I figure by next week I should be off of the insulin.

"The data from these studies further demonstrate the strong clinical profile and the value of Victoza in the treatment of type 2 diabetes," said chief science officer Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen in the statement.
From a 26-week open label clinical trial, data showed patients treated with 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg of Victoza experienced greater reductions in blood sugar than those treated with Januvia 100 mg tablets, Novo Nordisk said in the statement.
