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

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 Heavanneleigh on February 24, 2013 at 8:58am
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.

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~
