Why Is Victoza Not Reducing The Glucose Level?

I am now on Victoza changing from Janumet . I have been using victoza for about I 1/2 months today I checked my meter this am and my number was over 245 and checked it tonite and it was over 350. I take 1.8ml of victoza, I was looking for a lot of progress with reducing my glucose level but it is going the other way. What is my PROBLEM?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You better look for intake of glucose in your diet that is more important, if you are taking more carbohydrate high calorie diet then the dose of anti diabetic drugs should be adequate, or else you have to cut down the glucose in your diet this is all the matter of great adjustment and planning, you have to be more accurate and careful, have nice day.
