I started my 1.8mg shoots on Wednesday I really feel tired all the time and a little nausea. It was really hard to force myself to work today. I am down 4lbs my portion sizes have really reduced. I am eating so little it is hard to get the nutrition. i have increased my supplements.
Knees still hurt and this has hendered keeping up the walking. We have been over 100 most of this week so staying inside and not moving a lot has been the primary concern.

Glad to hear that the nausea stopped after four week I've been on for only a week and it's driving me nuts,but it sounds like it's worth it.

The nausea finally subsided after four weeks. I have lost 10lbs. Interestingly enough, when the nausea is most intense, I lose the least weight - likely due to inactivity.

I am really pleased with the 1.2mg level. You can see that the BG's readings track by the time of day. I have only lost 3lbs in two weeks wish the weight loss was faster but will take what ever I can get. Just faxed log for last week to my ENDO. They should get back to me today with recommendations.

Well I did my first 1.2mg shot last night at 3:10am this morning I was 74. Had my usual candied orange slice and tried to sleep in my chair. When I ate at 6:15am I was 123(did not adjust with Novolog). I was 107 before I ate lunch. Still at 2lbs lost. I will drop my glimiperide tonight to see if that will prevent the going low at 3am.
This week lunch is what I call Taco salad - plate of shreaded lettuce, 3/4 cup of taco meat, chopped onions, shreaded cheese and a little 1000 island dressing.

Hi all,
I just started victoza last sunday the 25th,I have had no problem till last night,around 12:30 my reading was 60 but when I went to bed it was high,I don't get it.

I just started on Victoza on Saturday, 0.6 dose. This coming Saturday I go to the 1.2 dose. So far I have already noticed a huge difference. I am also on Levimir and Novolog, Metformin 2000/day and Amaryl 8mg/day. I've had to reduce my Amaryl to 4mg to prevent hypo and I've noticed I don't need any Novolog until my last meal of the day since my numbers before breakfast and especially lunch are so low. My goal of getting below 120 fasting in the am is getting closer. Before Victoza i was sitting around 150 but after just a couple days on it I am already at 130ish. My last A1c three months ago was 7.4 and last week it was 6.5! I'm so excited to see what this Victoza is going to do. I'm not excited about the nausea though :( Good luck ya'll!!!

Well I have been doing Victoza since last Wednesday and I saw my first weight loss this morning 2lbs. I am forcing myself to eat but I push away much eariler than usual. I go to 1.2mg tomorrow evening hopefully I will stay on track.
ENDO responded yesterday afternoon I don't think he was pleased with my stopping Lantus all together but he got over it. I will fax him my log for this week next monday. He also added a perscription potassium twice daily to get my potassium levels up. I am hoping this will help my energy level always tired.

Well I made it thru the weekend. I had to stop Lantus Friday night and my numbers have been running a little above normal with my overnight being lower than normal. I am using Novolog to adjust befor meals is necessary and only shot Novolog 3 times over the weekend.
ENO office called this morning my A1C was 5.7, creatin was normal
I faxed them my log from last week waiting to see how they respond.

I started yesterday at 6pm, I woke up very tired and felt like someone had beat me with a sock full of sand. My fasting number was good 101 and I have been in the 90's and 80's all day. I am waiting for a response from my ENDO to see if I need to reduce my Lantus tonight from 38 units to 35. Have not had to use Novolog all day. I hope I can loose some additional weight before knee surgery in December.
