Diabetes, Type 2
"Went off of Byetta in July, 2009 -- never felt quite well and the inconvenience of timing injections with meals did not work for me.  Remained on Metformin ER only along with intense exercise and low carb diet.  Blood sugars started creeping up, and in February, 2010, I visited my endo to ask to try Victoza.  My insurance company, Aetna, took a while to authorize, and I took my first dose of Victoza on Thursday, April 1st.  Today, April 4th, I increased my dose from 0.6 to 1.2.  I have not felt much nausea (just a feeling of fullness) at either dose.  I love the convenience of just 1 injection when I get up in the morning and not having to make sure I eat within a certain time limit, as with Byetta.  Have lost about 6 lbs so far.  More to come."
