I've been on Victoza for about a month now, and it is helping... My numbers have come down considerably, and I can pretty much get down to the 80-90's.. Though I maintain the .6 dose, as this medicine is VERY EXPENSIVE ($475 bucks for a monh!!!, looks like a car payment to me.. LOL)... So I laugh at the doc, because she then wanted to put me on Levemir and Novolog.. the Novolog cost $840!!! Good grief!!! That's almost my mortgage...!

I got used to Victoza and now don't get nausea any more. Gained weight over the winter, trying to get that back off.

Denver, the weight loss effect is supposed to end after 6 months or so, but I have continued to lose weight and I have been on it a year. Mind you I have been exercising alot, but I think it helped me with feeling satiated, so i just don't eat as much. 60 lbs so far and no nausea - just really weird burping!

I am a type 1 starting to become resistant to insulin.
My doc put me on Victoza. It works really well. and has also helped me lose 25lbs so far w/barely any exercise (winter) its starting to become warm out (ohio) so hopefully the weight will continue to fall off.

Hi all, I've been on victoza for 3 weeks now and thank God the nausea has gotten better. I swear its as if I had the gastric bypass. Whenever I eat too much I feel sick to death. It does stop my cravings of sweets and carbs. Not sure how much weight I've lost because I don't own a scale. I go back to Endo in 2 days so we shall see. I think this medication is a Godsend. I'm also on Jentadueto. Anyone take that?

An individual bottle of oj does the trick for me. It almost makes a low a treat, as I have had to give up my beloved oj for breakfast as it is too carby.

I am a type 1 diabetic and my endo gave me Victoza to help with the insane post meal highs I was spiking. While yes it has helped tremendously (like where I was spiking up to 400 post meal not it does not even go above 150 but now I feel terrible and nauseous all the time (I am hoping it passes soon). But now to the more serious part I have had a couple lows and now they take FOREVER to come up. I understand why they take forever but can anyone give me some tricks to help

Chica, I did see BS change immediately, but my endo had told my I wouldn't on the introductory dose (0.6). So I expect that is normal till you get the dose upped. Once you start using a pen you don't need to keep it in the frig.

day 4 for me. No side effects noticed. My BS gets very high - my endo said it is because I stopped byetta (4 years on) and now on only .6 victoza.
