Diabetes, Type 2
"My doctor gave me samples of Victoza to take along with metformin.  Started on .6 and then increased to 1.2.   I have been on it for a little over a month.  Don&#039;t know if it&#039;s working on my a1c numbers as I have not had tests yet.   I am having terrible headaches, neck hurts and fatigue all the time.  It&#039;s  making me hungry all the time, have gained 5 pounds.  But the worse side effect is welts that are red and itchy at the injection sites.  My doctor has told me to stop taking it.   Do not recommend!!   I was on Trulicity , which was working wonderful, lowered by A1c level from 8.4 to 6.1,  but cost is way to high and that&#039;s with insurance!  so back to the drawing board.  :-("
