I am happy for those of you who have had success with Victoza. My new endo put me on Victoza in Sept'10 and I had great results with minimal queasiness. I was happy with the lower gls, weight loss, and the improved meal-time control. I just didn't feel that hungry and I got fuller faster. I thought Victoza was like a "miracle drug". The bad news is that my heart rate increased alarmingly by 20-30 beats soon after I started Victoza. The endo was not aware of any heart-related problems associated with the drug. My primary physician ordered me off Victoza since I also have heart issues. I was very disappointed because Victoza had given me high hopes of better gl and weight management. Didn't even have a problem with the insurance coverage. Diabetics starting or planning to start Victoza should read the FDA warnings, and the web forums that detail other users' experiences with the drug.
