Re: VICTOZA Wolfdog, Ken is SO right! Each person is different, however if it is doing what it is supposed to do, your numbers are better, and you are eatling less, why would you want to quit? The nausea should go away.... if not completely, then most of it. I still have nausea if I eat too...

Re: VICTOZA Hi Jackie ~ I wish Ken had been around when I was first diagnosed Type II. Maybe my life would have been easier! The biggest thing I've found is that the more carbs I eat, the more I want. If I eat more carbs in the evening before bed, then I'm actually hungrier in the morning...

Re: VICTOZA Hi Julie! It's intreesting to see that you can't drink the tea, but CAN drink black coffee! I've drunk black coffee for 35+ years... and since starting on Victoza, I can only drink tea. Isn't that odd? There are also some foods I can't eat now that I used to be able to eat...

Re: VICTOZA I have a question..... Is Victoza used for anyone other than diabetics? I have a friend who is on it, but she is not diabetic, not on a special diet of any kind and not overweight.... Just wondering.

Re: VICTOZA Doctors' office called back..... told me to keep using the Victoza, that ultimately, it should help the liver. Guess that means I suffer with the pain for now? I will say that skipping just one day sure did mess me up! Sugar was high this morning and am back to having to deal with...

Re: VICTOZA Well..... as I posted yesterday, I did not use my Victoza yesterday bacause I felt like my liver was giving me problems.... I used the shot today because when I woke this morning, my sugar was 9.61 instead of the usual 5-6 in the morning! :( I just feel bad when my sugar is that...

Re: VICTOZA Jackie, I had wonderful results!! Unfortunately, I've had to quit for now. I have a history of liver problems & it appears that I'm having a flare up for some reason. HOWEVER..... I firmly believe in Victoza and will restart it again when the liver calms down IF the doctor says...

Re: VICTOZA Jackie, I had the same thing with the 0.6mg in regards to appetite. It seemed like once I got used to the 0.6mg dose, my appetite came back. The good thing was that when I increased the dosage, it went away again and stayed away. Even though I could not stay on the 1.2mg, my...

Re: VICTOZA Have been on Victoza for about 2 months. Between the Byetta & the Victoza (first Byetta, then Victoza because I could not handle the 10 mcg Byetta) I've lost 37.25 pounds (don't know how many stone that is). Still have the lurking nausea and absolutely NO energy. Love the results...

Re: VICTOZA I was already taking Nexium when I was prescribed Victoza. That must be why I only have the feeling that the nausea is always mildly in the background. Depending on what I eat (or sometimes just smell!), the nausea stays mild or gets worse. If I eat something that no longer...

Re: VICTOZA I was feeling rotten one day.... tested on my right hand & then my left..... the readings were very different! I stopped doing that because it did drive me nuts. And I'm nutty enough without any help! :lol:

Re: VICTOZA Have been reading with great interest the messages posted here as I can't find a good forum discussing this medication here in the US. Have been on Victoza for 4 weeks. I did great on the 0.6 dosage, but am not handling the 1.2 very well. Talked to the diabetic educator at my...
