Been prescribed liraglutide (Diavic) injections on low dose, 0.6mg to increase to 1.2 mg after 2-3weeks if tolerated.
How soon do you see a weight loss? My blood sugars are improving even after a week but just wondering about future weight loss and if anyone had good results on this?
I'm on Metformin MR 1gm x twice a day
Dapagliflozin 1x day
Glicazide 1x 80mg daily
Thanks for helping
 
I was taking Victoza which is another brand of liraglutide, injections in 2023 for about eight months, until the whole ‘skinny jabs’ furore blew up and it became unavailable. I then switched to Rybelsus an oral version of another GLP 1 medication. On the eight months I used Victoza I lost just over 10kgs, my weight has continued to drop a further 10kg on Rybelsus and I am now at a weight I’m happy with.
Let us know how you get on.
