Victoza or Byetta
I am currently using Byetta and have a few problems, Oerhaps someone can enlighten me regarding answers.
I find that with Byetta I get extreme indigestion during the evening after I have injected my self and eaten my evening meal.
This is really chest tearing and need multiple doeses of Gaviscon to relieve it.
The other thing that I have been affected since starting Byetta id severe constipation. and believe me I do mean severe.
Do the same symptoms exist for Victoza??
I was told at my local diabetic clinic that Byetta would also help me lose weight, (Good I thought)
However I have actually put on weight not lost it since I have been on this medication.
Obviously to lose some weight is useful for nearly all diabetics but putting it on certainly is no good.
My Local Hospital Diabetic Clinic isnt that good, or at least I dont think so! New Hospital but dear Oh Dear they dont seem to have a clue,
Please get back with any news, info or just to say hi.

hi dave jc,I used to be on two shots a day Byetta and like you got indigestion evening time and also put weight on at an alarming rate. I visited Gp and he asked me to try Victoza which is only one shot a day. I have been on one shot victoza a day 1.26mg for two months and have lost 1.5 stones with slight meal amount reduction. I feel fitter no indigestion at night and blood sugar at 7.5 all good so victoza is for me I still yearn for chocolate 24/7 Cheers, Rotorblade
