victoza

Hi everyone, thanks for allowing me in! I am pre diabetic and weigh 25 stone. Clearly what I have is more than just a situation of "eat less, lose weight" as there are mental issues involved as I was neglected and starved as a child and now food is the whole world to me! I am not yet...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this post is in the right area so please forgive me if it isn't but I was curious if anybody else who is T2 and on Victoza is finding it difficult to obtain. I have been on this injection for a few months now and recently everywhere I try to get it from says they don't...

Hi all I’m new to the forum but not newly diagnosed. Initially type 2 but now awaiting both lada and mody testing. My diabetes has been really hard to control - my doctors have struggled to understand it, up and down like a yo-yo so currently waiting the referral to an Endo. I’m in Scotland...

Hi everyone, I’ve just started Victoza for T2, 17 years, and it’s working already—in the second day. But I’m feeling weak and ill with the lower numbers, similar to hypoglycaemia. They’re down quite a bit, but still higher than they should be so these are faux lows. I’m hoping I’ll adjust to...

Hi I have been type II for 24 years very recently gone onto insulin as a backup measure. Also Victoza and Metformin. I am one of Victoza success stories loosing nearly 7stone over two years.

I have type 2 diabetes since 2005. Last year my HBA levels were 156 and now 88. I had a call from the hospital today that they are cancelling my surgery as I need to around 69. I’m unable to exercise due to a spinal cord injury and loads of pain relief meds. My current diabetes meds are...

What are the treatment options after metformin and victoza? Victoza stopped working so well and bloods are higher. Although stress not helping. Not changed eating.

I have been hyperglycaemic for a few weeks and am struggling to control my levels. I am eating responsibly etc. My routine appointment with my diabetic nurse was over the phone and didn’t entirely go to plan. I wanted advice on moving to hflc diet (this seemed to make her a little angry - they...

Hi Everyone! I'm new here so still trying to figure everything out! I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 19, i am now 26. At 19 i weighed around 18-19 Stones, i lost weight and came down to 13-14 stones. I have been at a steady 12 stones for the past 3 years. I was given metformin which i...

Hi Everyone (1st post for me) A bit of history.... I've been a diabetic for 10 years now type two. Was originally just on metformin 1g then 2g then after 7 years or so added sitagliptin 100mg. my HB1c started at 6 in old money and steadily went up until last year it was 65 in new money. I was...

Greetings all ! Newbie here ! Presently I take Metformin, Gliclazide and am now on my third day of Victoza !

Hi there, I was on Metformin and sitagliptin with worsening control, and wavering levels of carbohydrate in my diet, but after being refused a referral to the consultant for a GLP-1 inhibitor 12 months ago because my BMI was 34.9 and not 35, my HbA1c went up to 77 and I was finally prescribed...

I'm type 2 and currently taking victoza, metformin and gliclazide but I'm getting started on insulin next week. I had been lowering my carb intake but the last week the nausea from the victoza has been pretty bad so I was eating porridge and bread as I've found I don't get as nauseous with plain...

I've just been told today I've to start on Victoza. I'm type 2 and up until last summer I've had my diabetes well under control, even managing to come off my tablets for two years after losing 3 stone. My sugars started creeping up again though and I was put back on metformin 2 years ago...

Just a quick question, search function seems to throw up old threads. Is anyone who is currently being prescribed this particular med found they have had any kind of significant weight loss? If so, is it due to reduced appetite? I know it is now licensed as a weight loss medication, as well as...

Hi All In the last 2 months I've been taken off Pioglitazone and started Victosa on 14 March. So far have lost 24lbs (probably because of the Pioglitazone as I put on 2.5 stone with this) and I feel really good. The Victoza has been a God send, my digestion has slowed and my bloods are so much...

Hello Everyone. After 5 years of being on metformin MR (x2 per day), Pioglitizone, Ramipril, Aspirin, Glimiepiride, with Simvastatin at night I noticed my blood glucose creeping higher and higher. Diabetic Nurse said latest HBA1C was 86 rather than 65 - 70. Reluctantly referred me to...
