Dear madam i can understand your concern.in my opinion you may need to increase the dose of lantus by 3 units untill your fasting sugars comes below 120mg/dl or 6.6mmol/l
kindly let me know your height weight and age,for fixing your insulin dose.
In my opinion there will only little role for victoza after 10 yrs of diabetes
because most of beta cells might got exhausted.
so my suggestion is to change victoza with novorapid to be taken twice to thrice daily
pls follow diet and exercise they are very important.
