Hi I've been on SW since April 23, and I have lost 2 stone, and HB1AC has gone from 74 to 59. I am 77 years old and quite active and love my cruises and holidays. You need to be sensible on site just because a food is FREE, doesn't mean you can eat loads. I find it's a diet I can live with and...

I have been type 2 for many years and my daughters friend who is 52 and her brother at 53 years old have both been diagnosed with type 2. My friend's hb1ac was 57 and the experience she has with the nurse was not good she was very judgemental despite being very overweight herself. She has a...

Blood sugars under better control and stable between 6 and 8/9. I lost 7lbs in first 2 weeks but none this week. Going to keep going though but it's not easy. Thanks for asking Pam

Well started this new way of eating last Monday after hb1ac result was 62% from 64 previously and before that 60. Was on victoza for about 10 months but after initially losing 10lbs which I regained I told my doctor I didn't think it was right for me. So back on anagliptin as well as continuing...

Have been on Victoza since 12 months. Initially lost 10lbs which gradually crept back on. Now lost the 10lbs again by diet but my hb1ac has gone up from 60 to 64. Doctor has now took me off victoza as it's not working for me and put me back on anogliptin. Further blood test in 3 months am now...

I do test myself occasionally but the hb1ac test is the only result that counts. As I understand it, it will take a while for the victoza to work on your pancreas. Hope it goes well for you Pam

Hi I've been on Victoza 2 months now, no longer have any side effects and I lost 11lbs. I have put 2lbs back on mainly because I've been snacking too much. It does help with portion control on main meals but doesn't stop you snacking. So you still need discipline. Haven't had another hb1ac test...

I've now been on Victoza for 6 weeks and have lost 10lbs. It no longer seems to control my appetite so I do have to use will power which is not strong. Blood sugar is better controlled but there is room for improvement. I should be getting my Hb1ac checked in 6 weeks but don't know if that will...

I have had nausea a few times but I've realised I get it if I over eat or when I had some pizza with extra cheese and once a Cadbury cream egg. I've also found it better not to eat after 7 ish and to take injection at 10 ish. On the up side I've lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks without dieting strictly...
