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 better. Started on 0.6 now on 1.2. I am being careful what I eat and keeping the carbohydrates low. My appetite has also waned. However I am still having side effects of diarrhoea about every 3 days. When I get this I am back and forth to the loo all day and its debilitating really. Can I ask those who have been on Victosa for a while, does it get better, does it go away? Trying not to resort to imodium at the moment! I am also to have a blood test as I think I am anaemic too.
Thanks in advance. Jayne
