[QUOTE="gilday, post: 394420, member: 73451"] I started taking Victoza 23 days ago, previously my sugar levels were 12.8, for many years. After eighteen days my sugar is in the normal range and for past five days has remained so. The lowest was 4.2 and the highest 5.8 and after food it is below 7.1. Over seven days the average is 5.7 and this will, decrease further. It made me feel strange the first day after taking it the night before and again when I upped the dosage after the first week. I had a very interrupted sleep pattern for first couple of weeks, but this has settled down. I no longer wake during the night for a pee, so am getting a full nights uninterrupted sleep. Me eating has reduced dramatically as I have little inclination to eat and when I do, my portion size is considerably smaller, as I am soon full. I never take any notice of diet and eat what I feel like when I feel like it. What Victoza appears to do, by balancing out the bodies production of insulin in relation to demand; is give your body control again and takes away cravings for sugary foods. It is as if the body says I need vitamins and not carbohydrate and certainly not sugar! This is an early stage report on my experience of Victoza, so I shall see how it works in the longer term. I have lost 7lb so far in weight and with my reduced diet I expect this to continue dropping. I am very conscious of the unhealthy consequences of starvation diets, (below 1000 calories). As it is difficult to gain a balanced intake of vitamins. This has led me to apply more thought to what I am going to cook for a meal to ensure I get a variety of food into my diet, as my appetite does not lend itself to this. All I can do so far is praise this medication, and wait to see the new slimline version one day in the mirror! [/QUOTE]
