[QUOTE="BEANIE654321, post: 224414, member: 37183"] I have been using Victoza for the past 3 months and it is the best medication for me. I am very sensitive to Metformin and for the past 4 years my bowels have suffered. I am now on the 1.2 mg dose of Victoza and now down to 1.5 grms of Metformin - my blood sugars are very well controlled and bowels so much better and I have lost over a stone in weight. And no more hypos - usually 2 a week. Last HbA1C was 6.6. I feel so much more energetic. BUT in this country you have to fit a strict criteria to be prescribed it and for the first few months it has to be hospital prescribed. One of the most severe side effects is pancreatitis. As with every thing it is not a medication for all, but for me my quality of life has improved so much. I hope others using Victoza has as much luck as me, as I am fully aware that some will not fit the criteria and others will not be able to tolerate it. [/QUOTE]
