I have had Diabetes for 12 years and have had a lot of different medication. I currently take Metformin 4x500 Daily, Victoza Injection 12mg Nova mix Injection 26mg AM and 20mg PM. I also take other tablets for Blood Pressure,Cholesterol and Aspirin. Can anyone tell me if there is a better medication that I can take as at the moment my readings are between 8-12.

I've been taking Kardegic for almost a year and I can tell you it has helped me a lot and my readings have lowered a lot. I used to take Victoza, but I had some unpleasent side effects so I left it and changed, but I think you should ask your GP also...

Good luck
