Re: VICTOZA
Started Victoza on Monday on the 0.6 dose and I've had a little nausea and a funny feeling on my tongue, but nothing major so far (touch wood). I'm normally pretty clued up on diabetes drugs, working as a GP practice manager (not anywhere near my location) as I read all the literature GPs get and I also cull any results from our patients diabetes clinical letters onto our clinical computer system, but I had never heard of Victoza before other than from my own Diabetes Consultant.
I was rather apprehensive about the injecting aspect of this medication, but I really didn't feel the needle at all
I have to say my appetite has disappeared for what seems the 1st time in my life, and I just hope it stays that way. I'm also consciously trying to address my bad habits of overeating after feeling full and I have stopped raiding the fridge now that I'm not constantly hungry all the time.
I know this is a relatively new drug and the potential risks involved, but a chance at having a normal weight for this Type 2 diabetic is a potential lifesaver and I've already lost 2.6kg (probably fluid but I'll take anything coming my way)
