Hi there bog_trotter2020 (great name!), I hope you're feeling recovered from your chemo. Thankfully, it's not a road I have travelled myself, but I do understand it takes it out of you.

I've not take Victoza, or any other meds for diabetes, , but if you type "Victoza Liraglutide" in the search box, you should find some past threads discussing it.

I suggest adding Liraglutide to the search criteria as they are different names for the same drug.

The search box is at the top of your screen, like here:

Your background in that arrea of the screen is likely to be red. I just prefer the black option. :)
 
I'm on victoza, been on it since April 1st. I haven't lost any weight on it though. I've been ok with it, not had any side affects. How's your bs levels?

Hi I had a chicken sarnie using wholemeal bread, an orange and a pack of yushoi pea crisps and two hours later my bloods were 22. I am just worried that I will get bad stomach/intestinal pain as I did when doc tried me on a different one.
 
About 5 years ago I was put on Victoria, as a way to not go on insulin.
I couldn’t cope with the side effects.

I did loose about a stone, but the constant bloated feeling was horrible.
I came off it and had to go onto insulin instead.
I hope you fared better.
