Hi to all,

I have been bk to hosp for diabetes this morning so I am on insulin and Victoza and Metformin now to see if it will help with my
Weight loss @t all.

So hopefully it's going to help, if I didn't by any chance what else could be the reason for non Weight loss this it really annoying me to say the least.
I've had all the above just hope it's going to work for me.
I have a slight headache could it be the Victoza.

Is the insulin your new drug? It isn't normally associated with weight loss. The opposite in fact. :arghh:

While the other two are both assosciated with weight loss - have they changed doseages and / or diet?

Hi to all,

No insulin is not new only met and Victoza I go bk to see consultant 12th of December to see if I've lost any weight @t all.

I just don' get why it is so hard to loose weight I went to gym last week and all it did was put my b.s. up.

So annoying.
