[QUOTE="Chrisell2012, post: 282205, member: 45155"] Hi there: I have been on Victoza for around a year and think its great. I had slight sickness and flatulence for a while but only a short while then things returned to normal. I lost almost half a stone in the first few months since when the loss has continued but at a much slower rate. I can eat what I want within the boundaries of sensisible eating and alcohol has been really, really cut back. I have discovered that eating anything after about 9pm and anything with alcohol after that time will push up my am sugar levels. Maybe I have some slight problems with my eyes but as I have a minor allergic conjunctivitis that would be hard to prove at this time of the year. One thing I did not expect came after my annual retinal scan. For the first time ever I was told I had some macular degeneration. I asked one of the specialist nurses and she said it often happened after a rapid drop in sugar levels. I was also told that at this stage there was nothing to worry about - but even so it is worrying, more so as this was never mentioned when I switched on to Victoza. [/QUOTE]
