Good news at the Doc. Lost 12lbs in a month and hope to repeat that progess several more times. Blood sugars are good and my appetite is curbed most of the time. Researchers are looking at Victoza for a weight loss regime. 1.2mg dose continues. Rubidel

Ive been considering a switch from Byetta to Victoza. I've been on Byetta for two years, it has helped in a few spurts, but not done much for me. I follow a low carb diet (Pauly knows what I mean), so I usually don't have problems with postprandial numbers. I don't need to lose weight. I just need to get my fasting numbers down. I am hoping that some of you Victoza veterans will be able to help me make the decision. I am concerned that if Byetta isn't really helpful, Victoza won't really be helpful and it is something like 5 times more expensive than Byetta.

Hi victoza users my dosage has been left at 0.6mg per day and as I said my diabetec specialist they all have titles was very plesed with my progress blood sugars down from 8.4 to 7.2 over 5 months and more than half a stone lost in weight, to be honest I did not share the same enthusiasm as my specialist I thought the victozaas wearing off just goes to show you never know how you are really doing until someone tells you.

I am a member of Dr Bernsteins website and he is giving Victoza high marks and the results with his patients. Really curbing appetite. He did have one patient though that didn't respond to it at the 1.2 dosage. I have to admit sometimes I am hungry too on it but most of the time not. I suppose its how our bodies respond to it. It has really dropped my A1 C though.

Hi Victoza group- if any of you are on facebook, join the new game developed in conjunction with diabetes hands foundation called Healthseeker. I have no friends on the game yet and could use the support. The game helps people with diabetes take control of the disease by accepting missions for healthy living. Just type Healthseeker into the search box. Hope you are all well!

Hi guys. I have been on the V since May 18th. No major nausea at the 1.2 dose. I also take Metformin and blood pressure, cholesterol medicastions, and aspirin. Appetite is curbed slightly. Blood sugars have dropped well. No A1c yet, seeing the Doc next week. Bummer if the low appetiite wears off after a few monthes. Have lost 7-10 lbs so far.Health insurance coverage Ok with needles. So far so good.

Hi fgiraffe- I would call your drug plan and ask what they do cover. From there, your doc may be able to fax over a prior authorization or something along those lines. My retail pharmacy out of pocket costs were $78/month. By switching to mail order, I now only pay $10/month. Good Luck to you

Hi fgiraffe cannot help you with why your health insurance company does not cover victoza right now, it would seem in diabetec terms over here it is the best thing since sliced bread probably another thing you do not get over there, I am fortunate our national health service provided the drug well all my drugs free guess I am lucky although anyone with diabetes might not call having the condition lucky, until you get if on medical insurance best of luck Ramundow

5 months on is the affects or effects no idea which one of victoza wearing off my appetite has returned and my blood sugars are creeping up I know I am not doing enough myself but it is hard being on your own 10 hours a day not taliking to another soul face to face, I guess as a species we need that contact to keep sane
