Have any of you guys come across any particular foods which trigger nasty reactions and may be a plan to avoid?
I've found that anything on the 'rich' side, whatever food group it is, is a bit of a no-no. It was my birthday this week and I'd normally be able to factor in a few bits of birthday cake into my daily diet, with a little extra insulin, but I couldn't handle it at all now that I'm on the victoza.
As for me, I had a review with my nurse and she was ecstatic with my progress..... like, really ecstatic. She couldn't stop grinning at me and she said I'd made her week! I started the victoza back in July and I'm on the 1.2 dose. After two whole months of absolute hell (really!!), my side-effects have finally lessened to a manageable level and I've lost nearly 2 STONE!! I can't bellieve it really. I know I need to work at it now to keep going with losing weight after the initial weight-loss honeymoon, but it is so encouraging to be able to actually see the effects. My insulin requirements have come down a lot and apart from the odd emergency issue with having a severe hypo and not being able to eat anything without vomiting, it's all grand.
Yay for victoza and yay for my GP agreeing to prescribe it for me!!
Good luck all those who've recently started on Victoza - if you can manage to stick it out, it will almost certainly be worth it!!
