victoza
Saw my endo yesterday and because my BS is running high in the mornings she wants me to go back on Victoza. I was taking it before and it just made me sick all the time and I would throw up after taking it for a couple of days. I told her this and she told me to just stay on the .06 for a week and see how that works. My A1C is 6.7. I was put on BP meds about two months ago and a beta blocker and thats when I noticed weight gain and higher BS in the morning. I think I could take this Victoza alright if it just didn't make me sick and bloated. Does it get better? And should I take it if I already have a slow emptying stomach? I told her about this but she didn't seemed concerned. I'm 62 and take Lantus, 10 units at 9:00, Nateglinide 120 MG before every meal, Synthroid 50 MCG a day,Humalog 100 units when needed on sliding scale. Metformin 4 pills at night with a snack at 9:00. My triglycerides are out of control but I have had this problem all my life even before becoming diabetic. It is now at 314. I have to admit I am active but lazy about excerise. Any idea's on the the Victoza will help. I usually keep it in the refrigerator and take it at night, around 8:00.

Hi Dee. It sounds like you are on lots of meds. :( There is a Victoza group on here which you could join. You could post your question there and the members will get an email alerting them to your query. I have also noticed that many members get a better response when they post the question in the general discussions rather than the blog area. I have never taken Victoza. I hope you find an answer to your question. Cheers! Joanne

I quit Victoza almost as rapidly as I started it, for the same reasons that you say. It just made me sick, to the point of vomiting and weakness. It was the correct thing to do. It turned out that I had LADA, rather than type 2, as originally treated. My pump cam soon after that. I am happy.
