Re: VICTOZA
Hello all members,
Attended Diabetic Centre at local Hospital today and the Doctor was very pleased with the excellent results so far on Victoza. I started Victoza on 15th January 2010 and have already lost 9 lbs. This is due to the drug telling your brain that you are not hungry so you eat less. I am very happy so far as I still have jumbo oats for breakfast, a sandwich at lunch time and a meal of mashed potatoes, fish and peas, or similar on an evening. I also have an apple, kiwi and grapes throughout the day. The Doctor requested I return in six months then will probably go back to the care of my local GP. The Doctor said as long as you do not overeat, ie over-ride the full feeling, then the drug will carry on doing its job.
I am feeling good about this treatment. Will let you know how I progress.
Still taking 4 Metformin per day.
Good luck all
Pat
