Liraglutide
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's to 150'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 "enjoy" a light meal, and feel satisfied like never before. I feel this is the answer I need!"
