Diabetes, Type 2
"I started taking Victoza a little over 3 weeks ago. Started with the 0.6 dose, which gave me headaches and I had a little back pain. This subsided. I went up to the 1.2 dose a week later, same side effects that went away. Now I am at the 1.8 dose, not seeing too many side effects besides a bad headache. I have been diabetic for 10 years. Was on metformin 1000MG twice a day, could not get my blood sugars below 200. I was fearful insulin was my only option. The results have been great, blood sugar readings in the 120&#039;s to 150&#039;s and still coming down. Have lost about 10 lbs and counting. The effect it has on appetite is amazing. I actually take time to &quot;enjoy&quot; a light meal, and feel satisfied like never before. I feel this is the answer I need!"
