I am on Victoza and it has brought my numbers down. I was in the mid 200 all the time and now I am right around 130

Yes, I take it. I've been on it since Nov 2011. So sick with it, but most symptoms did finally subside after 6 months. Numbers were better so didn't want to give up. But am starting now to worry about other side effects they are constantly warning me about in the pamphlets they give when renewing prescription. Does anyone have opinions, observations?

I have been using Victoza since Jan 2012. No issues, has really brought my numbers down. Obviously depends on your carb intake but I am running around 130 average.

My doctor just started me on Victoza today. I have only been on oral meds so injecting is something new for me. Did my first injection and was surprised how easy it was. Just hope now that I will be able to tolerate it.

If you are on certaineds they may interact.
My wife was on it and Wellbutrin and caused the nausea and low blood sugar under 50-20. Almost killed her multiple times until her doctors coordinated and spotted the issue

Make sure all your prescriptions can be filled from the same pharmacy so their software can spot these issues (she used Walmart and cvs, now she only uses one)
Now everything works great. So good luck!
