where exactly in the stomach or thigh can it be injected?

stomach--near the navel or further out?

thigh--inner or outer?

Second paragraph in this article addresses where to inject the product, when i was using Victosa i'd inject in the belly usually anywhere from an inch to 5 inches from the belly button.

I do it in the belly in that roll of fat to either side of the navel.

i did it in the belly last night after 2 years in the upper arm

this AM i woke up nauseous but I did notice my sugar was 109 upon waking whereas my sugar has been over 120 waking after injecting in the upper arm

All diabetic injections as meant to go into fat AFAIK.

The belly area around the naval is what I have always used. Move it around so you don't get scar tissue built up in one area.

Although the instructions say once a day, I would add one caveat-do it early in the day when you will have food to be processed. Like most diabetic medicines, taking it and not having any food to work on can lead to lows. That is especially true if your taking other diabetic medicines with Victoza, such as Glimipiride.

I am wondering why anyone would come to an Internet forum to ask this question. Doesn't Victoza require a prescription?

You obtained a prescription for this medicine and didn't bother to ask your doctor on how to use it? When you picked up the prescription you didn't say "yes" when asked if you had any questions?

You don't know or aren't sure of how to use a prescription medication and your thoughts are to ask on an Internet forum from people you don't know and might not know more than you (which seems to be very little)?

Try this, ask your doctor, I bet they will give you the information for free.
