I've been on Victoza for two months. My BG control is fine and I've experienced a decent amount of weight loss (around 25 pounds) due to feeling sated lots earlier and consequently eating lots less. I'm on the 1.2mg dosage; my stomach couldn't…Continue

From what I've read here, a number of you folks have experienced the nausea "as advertised" with Victoza and I'm wondering what you did to counteract that? I presume Gravol but that has a sedative affect on me and I thought it might be nice to stay…Continue

I am by no means new to T2 or Victoza but have been having issues with highs. Mainly because I am worried to drop so I force feed myself and not with good foods. I experienced a situation that involved a neighbor that was low and I had to help plus…Continue

Comment by rayzona on May 9, 2013 at 10:58am Hi T2 7 yrs 3rd eeek on victosa started on low dose 0.6, slight nausea reduce appetite, abit constipation, now on 3rd day of 1.2 dose from yesterday and today got diaohrea, so not sure if side sffects. Just fed up with it all, I also take metformin
Comment by Gb on April 10, 2013 at 10:50am 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!
Comment by Denver M. Dull on April 10, 2013 at 9:45am 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.

Comment by Ellie on August 11, 2012 at 3:39pm 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.
Comment by Kendyl on August 11, 2012 at 2:45pm 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
Comment by Ellie on July 31, 2012 at 9:03am 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.
Comment by m on July 31, 2012 at 9:03am 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.

Comment by ChicaRossi on July 31, 2012 at 8:07am Day 3 of Victoza for me... I haven't felt much different. I do notice that my portions I can eatt has changed. BUT no side effects like the vomiting and nausea. I do feel full- if that makes sense. My BS are still about the same. How long did it take you guys to start seeing the effects? IS my pen bad since I dont have it in the fridge?
Thanks~
