Sorry for they delay in response. Getting back and catching up. We are going to try Victoza which is technically a diabetic drug and appears a little counterintuitive but does help with insulin and glucagon control. There will be close monitoring/communication re: effectiveness once I start the medication. The other alternative was diazoxide which has significant side effects. Thanks for the questions.

@ahtaylor Thanks for your reply. I hope the Victoza is a help to you.

Hello @ahtaylor

In mid-April, you mentioned that you were going to be starting Victoza for your blood sugar problems and there would be close monitoring. I was wondering if you had started that med yet. If so, is it helping with insulin and glucagon control?

I look forward to hearing from you. Will you post an update when it's convenient for you?
