    I live in the Norfolk area and have been on Victoza for two years. My blood sugars are back to normal. I had a slight problem of diahorrea at the start but was advised to increase the doze incrementally click by click over a period of six weeks. This worked for me.

    Re: VICTOZA I think I will still leave it a week and see if my usual diet reduces the weight again, before upping the meds. I am mainly putting it down to being on hols and no PC access, which probably gave me the munchies :wink:
